Aramac Queensland and their Sculpture Trail

[Ozzie_Traveller12]

G'day all

This tiny town north of Barcaldine and about 800km inland from Brisbane the state's capital, has a local artist who has created many quite interesting sculptures from junk retrieved from local rubbish dumps

She has now placed about 50 items along local roads, and the tourism people are now including these into brochures etc. We did the tour during July and took 2-1/2 days to cover the 200km (going slowly and stopping overnight way out in the bush to enjoy the quiet and the stars)

Here's a glimpse of a number of the sculptures

1)- Drover and dog

Thanks Terri ... yes currently there area 50 in this batch and a dozen or so more spread around the district. She / the sculptor wants to keep adding more - possibly doubling the display over the next couple of years
