    Spot on. Key Man statue. Little detour on the road out to station creek and pebbly beach campground north of coffs harbour. I do have the GPS co-ords but apparently part of the local legend is that you're not meant to post it's exact location and you're meant to go exploring to find it. I don't want to offend anyone so I won't post the co-ords but if you're keen to find it and don't want to take the chance, PM me and I'll send you the co-ords.

    There's no signs or anything. I actually had to make a second trip to find it and once you get in there, there's information boards about the guy who built it. It's quite fascinating.

    Over to you to pick the next one Rusty.

    Rusty.

    Extract from Woolgoolga Off-road.

    THE KEYMAN.

    Legend has it that a Lithuanian tightrope walker-Jonas Slovenski-hand made this statue in memory to his maker. He came to this forest looking for solitude in the 1960’s and earned himself a reputation as a fearless axeman, mostly because he worked in the nude- wearing nothing but a pair of gumboots. When he wasn’t cutting timber he exercised his balancing skills on cables stretched high above the trees. Local 4wders started hanging old keys on the statue, and so the name stuck.

    So, it's a flat gravel car park with a new ablution block surrounded by non-descript typical Aussie light scrub? Well, that narrows it down a bit.

    Ooh, I think I know this one too, but I've had enough goes already so I'll leave it for someone else.
