Mr Darcy..The statue is now being shipped to Australia by the National Trust of Australia, which is paying for its passage after acquiring Mr Darcy from their British counterparts free of charge.
The National Trust of Australia’s Sharron Clark said Mr Darcy would take up residence in the lake at Ripponlea Tea House and Gardens, Elsternwick, as part of the organisation’s “Love, Desire and Riches” exhibition celebrating wedding couture from the 18th to 21st century.
