Pam the Bird Sparks City Debate | Melbourne News
Description
A Melbourne man scaled the Bolte Bridge to paint a giant cartoon bird, sparking a nine-hour traffic jam and police standoff—then surrendered peacefully. Now, over 4,000 people are rallying to save “Pam the Bird,” calling it a beloved urban landmark and symbol of Melbourne’s creative soul. The artist, Jack Gibson-Burrell, faces 13 charges—including endangering life—and has a history of over 200 “Pam the Bird” offenses. He’s set for court on September 29th, as the city debates whether this graffiti is vandalism or public art worth preserving.
