Wyndham’s favourite travelling giraffe is back doing what he does best, but with a bit more wariness than wanderlust.
His latest trip has seen him take up a brief residence at a location in Werribee that Star Weekly cannot disclose to the public for security reasons.
Jerry’s latest assignment was one steeped in significance, being the 100th site he has set hoof in (if not a world record for synthetic giraffes, then certainly a Wyndham one).
What can be disclosed is his host Catherine Gracias- a friend and someone who played a big part in Jerry’s stardom by spreading his name on Facebook.
The road back to the road was no walk in the park for the 2.5 metre crowd-pleaser, as the serious injuries sustained in a kidnapping last month nearly derailed his career.
Left decapitated, short of a leg and ear, and having his mouth gouged open, he was in need of urgent repair. There was one man for the job, none other than the who created him.
Dale Cations- Jerry’s less villainous version of Dr Frankenstein- brought the local legend back to life.
A new head, leg and some fresh paint have Jerry 2.0 ready to go and fulfil his mission.
Once Jerry reaches 1000 followers, the plan is for him to be auctioned, with the proceeds going to the winner’s charity of choice.
Sitting just shy of 800 followers, Jerry needs your help to get him over the line for the good of others.
News of his kidnapping reached as far as Yorkshire in England, where the unofficial ‘Jerry International Fan Club’ has been established by Bradley Farnill.
