| Remote Australian sculptures |
|
If you find yourself with spare time when you are travelling in Queensland's Barcaldine Region then take the drive around the Lake Dunn Sculpture Trail.
There are more than 34 sculptures along the way as well as the renowned Gray Rock and Lake Dunn.
This trail can be travelled either way because it is a circuit starting at Aramac and ending at Aramac and it covers a distance of approximately 205km. Many People ask how the sculptures came to be there.
Ask a local and you might get an interesting story, some might say it was an idea by a Sheila with a few too many roos loose in the top paddock. In reality the sculptures are there because the local Sculptor (who resides on a Grazing Property along the trail) decided that she needed a platform to display her work and went about creating one of the biggest permanent outdoor sculpture exhibitions in the world.
Shiela did this for her love of sculpture and turning junk into art and also the wish to put a smile on the face of the people who travel through one of the most historical and beautiful parts of Queensland.
This artist who creates outside works only on commission tries to add a sculpture to her roadside exhibition whenever she has the time.
Now this well kept local secret is out and is becoming an international phenomenon with travellers who come to view the exhibition while they are in the Barcaldine Region.
