Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Use Australian English Шаблон:Use dmy dates A Concrete Aboriginal, also known as a Neville, is a lawn ornament once common in Australia.[1][2] The ornament is a concrete statue depicting an Aboriginal Australian, generally carrying a spear and often standing on one leg.[3] The statues were once common in Australia but rarely seen since the 1980s.[4]
The fashion for keeping a concrete Aboriginal in the garden was satirised in the Australian 1980s situation comedy Kingswood Country, where the lead character referred to his concrete Aboriginal as "Neville".[1] The name "Neville" was thought to be a reference to Neville Bonner, the first Aboriginal Australian to sit in the Parliament of Australia.[5]
