Narromine’s barbed-wire artisan, Greg McIntyre, has been working nine-to-five to finish his latest creation: a life-size replica of country music legend Dolly Parton.
Standing at 152 centimetres, or five feet flat in Imperial measurements, Dolly has her hand on a striking six-string guitar, also made from barbed wire and painted candy-pink.
The sculpture has been prepared well ahead of the second Dolly Festival which will be held in Narromine in September.
The retired boilermaker, 73, said he was inspired to make something in support of the Narromine community, which had rallied around the inaugural festival in 2022.
“We all need to do our little bit for the community, and I decided to do this just for fun and as another way to support the next festival,” he said…
