Carrot Man

Tribute to one of Melbourne’s most recognised and loveable characters - Nathan, The Carrot Man 🚶‍♂️🥕. 

Nathan walks inner-city Melbourne holding a giant papier-mâché carrot with green plastic leaves.

The reason for carrying around giant things in public (which have previously included opp shop- sourced giant turnip, giant squid and a giant octopus) is simple – to make people smile 😀.

In one instance, Nathan appeared with his giant carrot at a political protest in Melbourne, mingling with the crowd in the centre of the chaos. Carrot Man is bringing smiles to faces where ever he appears. The world needs more people like Nathan!
