I used the words Gumnut Babies statue in google search.
Also it was in the news last year because it got stolen.
Thanks so much for your comment, Yan. It shows you’re someone who loves to solve a good learning mystery!
Tip for a WITW comment: tell us the actual location of the place – either the exact street address, or the longitude/latitude.

They are Gumnut babies from the Perth Stirling Gardens.
Exact location:Barrack St & St George’s Terrace
When I searched for it I used the words Gumnut babies.What gave it away was when a zoomed in on the Gumnut baby plaque are saw the faint outline of the word Gumnut babies so I went to a new tab and wrote Gumnut babies.
The reason it was in the news is that one of the babies was stolen on the March 25, 2015.
Thanks for your comment David. I’m pleased to announce that you were the first Year 4 student to comment. I hope you keep following WITW.
Tip for a successful comment: can you be more precise about the location? Barrack St and St Georges Tce are both very long streets.

Hi everyone, what a great project. It looks like a few people have solved your challenge but the picture reminds me of the little statues of Peter Rabbit in the Beatrix Potter Garden in Dunkeld Scotland – can you find where that is?

Thanks for joining in WITW Lynda. I love the link to the Beatrix Potter Garden. It would be a great place to visit one day.
