Snuff Puppets giant Snail puppet, 3 meters high and 7 meters long, seen here at FedSq

Mirabelle the giant Snail!

They maybe slow, but watch out because they are hungry and will try to munch on anything in their path.

Picnics, lunch boxes and unsuspecting children beware – Mirabelle’s liable to leave no basket unturned in the never-ending quest for lunch.

Mirabelle loves sliding thru the middle of big crowds.

A keen visitor of farmers markets, food festivals, and gardening events.

“Spotted Mirabelle in View Street this morning. The squeals of laughter from all the children & adults alike was music to my ears❣️ Truly WELL DONE”

Orginally a commission by Slow Food Melbourne, the Snail’s insatiable hunger, has taken them as far afield as Taiwan.
