A COLONY of 21 giant koalas is about to be let loose on the streets of the Gold Coast.
The sculptures, each as high as a man's shoulder, were created by local artist John Cox, the winner of an Academy Award for his work on the film Babe, at his Creature Workshop in Molendinar.
Artists from around Australia have decorated the koalas in various styles.
The Animals with Attitude sculpture trail will be launched at Broadbeach by Queensland Governor Penelope Wensley on Friday.
After this weekend the koala sculptures will be distributed throughout the Gold Coast along a trail that can be followed by downloading a map online.
The locations will include major shopping centres and council parks.
The koalas will be auctioned at Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary on May 4 to raise funds for its animal hospital, which receives no ongoing state or federal government funding.
The Animals With Attitude map can be downloaded at www.cwhf.org.au/events.
