A local council said the repairs to the bright blue sculpture would be 'significant'.

An Australian teenager has faced court for allegedly defacing a large blue sculpture of a mythical creature by sticking googly eyes on it.

Amelia Vanderhorst, 19, appeared via phone at Mount Gambier Magistrates Court in South Australia on Tuesday charged with one count of property damage.

In a statement at the time of the September incident, the local council said CCTV footage showed a person putting artificial eyes on the artwork which locals have nicknamed the “Blue Blob”.

    19 is a teenager, mate. Thats why we have “teen porn” and no one bats an eye. Because teenagers can, and often are, adults as well. Teenager doesnt mean child by default.
