Why did the Sphinx go to school? To become a wise-crack!

Continuing my exploration through Geelong, I came across an unexpected marvel—a grand replica of the Great Sphinx of Giza. This imposing statue stood proudly against the brilliant blue sky, its ancient visage carved with meticulous detail. The surrounding Australian flora added a unique touch to this Egyptian icon's setting. It's fascinating how such diverse elements can coexist so harmoniously. I stood there for a while, soaking in the juxtaposition of cultures and histories embodied in this single landmark.
