Melbourne

After a morning on the beach at Geelong, it was a short drive to our friends’ house on the east of Melbourne. We met John and Barbara in the Kimberley in 2003 and they asked us to visit when we came to Melbourne. We had a lovely time catching up and enjoyed some fine meals together. John is a wiz on the Barbie.

We visited the William Rickets Sanctuary, a collection of sculptures created during the twentieth century by an eccentric sculptor who wanted to show that all creation, all life and all peoples are one. His work in the Dandenong hills is very thought provoking. This carving has William’s head.

All the carvings appear to emerge from their surroundings and so become a part of the natural environment.
