And they are in Gisborne.

 

Saw your edit   yes Gisborne is correct  two points which is close enough

 

The creator Murray Ball lived just outside Gisborne....

 

They're outside the library.....  and a bit of trivia.. a friend of the late Mr Ball took the photo for me. as the better half was busy....

Yes i do remember reading that......  I must admit I was  quite taken aback when i came across the statues... to see a life size comic book character ( and later film star )... 

the other people from the ship thought I was mad..... as they had no idea who they were.......     

And a copy of the photo is in the lounge at home.....

Back in the day Footrot Flats had cult status. Dog was our ships unofficial mascot. He even featured on our special beer bottle labels.

That’s spot on. The Swiss guard do a great job of repelling marauding Morris dancers!

Correct. The Fullerton Hotel in the foreground with Boat Quay across the middle. Taken from the top of Marina Bay Sands.

This is from the internet, because I have no more photos on the iPad.

i visited this town too many years ago, shocked when I worked it out, but I was much younger then.
