ONE of Wyndham’s most controversial residents appears to have been wrapped up in the Christmas spirit. The giant cat that stands outside the Wyndham Vale Community Centre was covered in decorations by a group of colourful protesters that have been spreading their Christmas cheer throughout the municipality. The sculpture, which cost the council $60,000 and was described by Councillor Adele Hegedich at the time as “ugly, hideous and grotesque” is just one of several notable landmarks that have been decorated. 91851 Picture: XAVIER SMERDON
