The 8feet statue of our most loved poet was vandalised in Timaru, South Island. The head of the statue which stood in the Botanic Gardens is missing and £500 reward is offered. The statue is of Italian marble and was unveiled in 1913.
Why would a statue of Robert Burns be vandalised in such a place. I always thought there was a great feeling for Burns in New Zealand
