Went to the hardware store to get a packet of screws, about to go down the relevant isle and stopped dead in my tracks to check if what I saw from the corner of my eye, was in fact, a Tiki statue.

Couldn't stop staring at it, why was there a "moai" water feature in Bunnings? This is Australia right?

Anyway, manufacturer is Waterworks Australia, there are 3 designs, all about 2 foot high, retail for $40. There is no Waterworks website (not yet anyway) but the box was pretty comprehensive with it's detail. It had info on what the "moai" statue is and where it can be found.

So does this mean it's the beginning of mainstream Tiki in Australia?
