I was trying to deal with this God awful un-Brisbane-like winter weather by looking back over photos pf the summer when I came across this one. This little guy was perched in a tree directly over the tourist information centre in Hastings Street...it was almost as though someone had placed him there.

He gets paid to hang there for 8 hours a day. That's why they cut a shelf for him to sit on. At least he can nap while he works. websterella · 2009-06-03: 08:49

Aaawwww... He looks like he's hugging the tree whilst napping... adorable. ifpics · 2009-06-03: 10:56

Did you ask him what time his shift was over? :) moxxxie · 2009-06-03: 12:10

They sure are cute. The stuffed ones are pretty realistic now that I compare my great-niece's with this photo. Gallivant · 2009-06-03: 15:31

I agree with Webs. I'm sure they roster them. JenPat · 2009-06-03: 23:11
