Default Sculpture Garden in Australia; lots of ideas!

Someone sent my wife a link to this site. It has an online tour and a powerpoint slideshow you can download. I believe the sculptures are primarily in terracotta, but a lot of wood spirit-like stuff. Very cool site! Some great ideas that could possibly be translated to wood.

sad news, The town of marysville has been destroyed by fire in the last day or two, This may be our greatest natural disaster,News | Breaking News from Brisbane and Queensland | The Courier-Mail

A very sad day. On top of that the top of our nation is in the grip of a massive flood,maybe the biggest on record.

I too am so sorry to hear of yet another loss in those dreadful fires. My heart goes out to those who lost so much and prayers for everyone affected.

Hi All, Yes it is a sad occurance all this destruction & loss of life & property there & weird how one end is burning up while the other end is flooding like crazy??? This sculpture Garden is not far from Gabrielle Gamble (Granny Gabs) in OZ & she says it is just an amazing tour & so many great ideas from his imagination! I have dreamt of creating a similar type thing here in Ontario for a few years now just have to find the time.
Thanks, Robbin
