The Perth City Kugel Ball, named "Fire, Water and Earth" is situated in the south east corner of the busy shopping precinct of Forrest Chase, in the City centre. It was constructed to honour the arrival of the Sydney 2000 Olympic Torch to Perth, in its tour around Australia.
The ball is a sphere of granite, approximately 3/4m in diameter, floating on a dark base. It has an attractive and complex appearance. A curved bench partially surroundings the ball, approximately 2m back from the base.
It is easy to start the 'ball rolling', even with one hand.
I am indebted to fellow waymarker DougK for pointing out to me that this sculpture was in fact a Kugel Ball—something of which I was not previously aware.
