The woman, who ties her hair back in a ponytail for the task, appears to apply a liquid solution to a white cloth before she begins scrubbing the problem area.

One joked about what the video said of the country as a whole: ‘Australia truly is a fascinating land,’ they wrote.

The statue is of the late Henry Bastow who was the Victorian Architect and Surveyor for the State Schools division from 1873 to 1894.
