car parts sculptor James Corbett made large racing grasshoppers for the new Oran Park libraryin western Sydney.

It once had a car racing track. All the big names raced there, but that was decades ago and now the track is gone and the pastures are disappearing under houses

But the dry yellow grass gives a feel for the history of the district. 

Corbett paid tribute to both, the rich racing history, and the dry grassy area had him think of grasshoppers, flies, locusts and Hereford cattle. 

of course, if you think these are cool, go look at the post of his art I did in 2009 https://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2009/02/james-corbett-car-parts-sculptures.html
