The famous Island wallabies are set to go under the hammer tomorrow in Douglas.

The colourful creations which graced the Manx outdoors this summer will be on auction at the Villa Marina on Thursady night with the money raised to go to Hospice Isle of Man.

The sculptures - created by national and local artists and organisations - were part of the successful 'Wallabies Gone Wild' trail from May until the end of August in association with Wild In Art, encouraging people to spend time together and enjoy the outdoors.

Tomorrows auction will get underway 7pm - tickets can be booked at the Hospice Isle of Man website.
