Lego has recreated the most famous moments in Australian history – as voted by the public – out of its famous toy bricks.

The activation is part of Lego’s Festival of Play campaign that celebrates 50 years of the toy brand in Australia.

The public was asked to vote on their 25 top Australian moments over a three week period. Around 14,000 votes were cast.

Six of the top ten were sporting moments.
