Restoring the Aussie icon ‘the Dog On The Tuckerbox’
Nick Stranks, Lecturer & Sculptor from the ANU School of Art and Design, joins Luke Grant to discuss his part in the restoration of the iconic ‘Dog On The Tuckerbox’ that was recently knocked from its sandstone pedestal in an attack the local mayor has called a “senseless bit of vandalism”.
