Adelaide residents have their eyes glued to a low-stakes whodunnit hitting landmarks across the suburbs, including a KFC sign and a colonial statue
The big googly eyes, which appear to be readily available online for around $10 a pop, were seen again when a van belonging to a Jim’s Mowing franchisee was spotted with telltale dilated pupils peeking out from beneath the bucket hat.
That plan, and the hilltop statue overlooking the city, have come to be known as Light’s Vision. So known is Light among many South Australians that since 2016 Adelaide’s city council has opened its meetings with an acknowledgement of Light’s Vision, sandwiched between an acknowledgement of the Kaurna people, whose country the city was built upon, and the Lord’s Prayer. The monument was also referenced in Paul Kelly’s 1985 song Adelaide .
“We’ll certainly ‘keep an eye’ on things and, as always, we don’t condone graffiti, offensive messages or property damage.”
