Don't Forget to Look Up

There are lots of entertaining sculptures around Melbourne. These three city gents are standing at the corner of Bourke and Swanston Streets.

But don't forget to look up. Above their heads, at the top of the lampposts at each corner of the intersection are these four weather vanes.

I particularly like the flying pig. There must be a message here, but I'm not sure what it is. I suspect some Melburnians would suggest it represents the idea that England might retain the Ashes when they come to Australia this (Australian) summer.
