I had always wondered where this huge fella came from - I had all sorts of fantastic ideas that it was from some defunct restaurant, or some sort of exotic thing ike that, since its location in the suburb of Don Mills is a bastion of Mid-Century Modern homes - I had hoped that there was perhaps a restaurant that had owned it at one time, that perhaps it had stood proudly outside its doors, much like the ones at the Kahiki. Well, I was about to finally call Tilley Endurables and ask them (the company on whose lawn it sits) when I did a final google serach - and this came up.

"Easter Island Head?, 1987, a replica by Bob Breault"

So, alas, my story is not exciting, nor does it lead anywhere intriguing - it was just commissioned by the company to sit on their front lawn, to embody the spirit of adventure that wearing a Tilley hat is supposed to evoke.

Thus my story has ended before it really begun!
