They are 22 years old. They are cleaned often with a hose. But there are great streaks of amor from the heads to the feet. Australia House offcials tell me it depends largely on the position in the street how often such statues need cleaning.
One of the figures over the east window of the institution offices is "Justice" for a change she is sitting down to her weighing operations.
She is frequently cleaned. But look at the grime on her face.
