The Project
In 2020, The Royal Children’s Hospital (RCH) will mark its 150th anniversary. In recognition of this major milestone, the RCH Foundation, supported by Wild in Art, is bringing colour and creativity to the streets of Melbourne and Geelong with a spectacular public art trail. Me and UooUoo (pronounced you-you) combine Victoria’s renowned passion for the arts and culture with a dash of outdoor adventure and will encourage communities to be active by visiting unique art sculptures. One hundred UooUoo sculptures, each one individually designed by an artist and sponsored by a business, will find homes in laneways, streets, parks and public spaces, forming walking trails throughout Melbourne and Geelong.

What is UooUoo?

It's an adorable creature designed by artist Alexander Knox that resembles a cross between a wombat and a dugong.
