Aramac, Sculpture Trail

Return Soldier sculpture
The Sculpture trail starts at Aramac - from here we took the Lake Dunn Sculpture Trail in an anti-clockwise direction, tackling the dirt road part of the circuit first (approx 130kms) starting off at the Red Roo situated at the town's roo works. The total distance returning to Aramac is approx 200 km with more than 25 sculptures along the way (we stopped and photographed 33 sculptures!).

They are works of a local sculptor, who resides on a grazing property along the trail and decided she needed a platform to display her work.  The result is one of the biggest, permanent, outdoor sculpture exhibitions in the world. 

The road was not too bad at the beginning and we had plenty of time to stop and have a look at these amazing sculptures - turning junk into art.

Eagle and nest of chicks sculpture
Next day we were off again on the Sculpture Trail however this time the road was bitumen so did not take so long to complete.  Once again we were impressed by the sculptures and thoroughly enjoyed the circuit.

The Stone Healing Circle was on the circuit - this is an ancient sacred circle which is connected to six others in the world. The others are located in Japan, Tibet, Madagascar, Peru, Turkey and USA.  The circle is used for prayer, meditation and healing of the mind, body and soul.
