Get held up on the Highway
These handcrafted sculptures in steel plate depict scenes from the area's colonial history. They can be found on the old Main Road, now known as the Heritage Highway from Hobart to Launceston. They are the idea of Maureen Craig and Folko Kooper of Kooper Tasmania (formerly Rural Design).
