Statue of viral breakdancer Raygun found on Melbourne nature strip
A statue of the iconic viral Australian breakdancer Raygun has appeared on a lawn in a Melbourne suburb.
Rachael Gunn captivated the world earlier this year with her routine at the first, and possibly last Olympic-breaking event, quickly becoming an overnight sensation.
She has now been recognised with a statue standing on a Northcote lawn, according to a tip on 3AW's Rumour File.

Raygun, a 36-year-old full-time lecturer at Sydney's Macquarie University, has completed a PhD in breaking culture and is a lecturer in media, creative arts, literature and language.
She failed to score any points at the Olympics in her routines, which included a "kangaroo" dance.
The statue appears to have recreated that moment.
"Following on from her huge success of breakdancing in Paris, Raygun is now dancing in the streets in the north," a caller told 3AW's Rumour File.
It's not known who created the statue.
