Wow, have you guys ever been to the William Ricketts Sanctuary in Mount Dandenong? It’s such a hidden gem! The way the sculptures blend into the natural surroundings is just magical. I remember wandering through that ferny glade, feeling like I was stepping into another world. Each piece tells a story, and it really makes you think about the connection between art and nature—especially how it reflects Indigenous culture.
But here’s a thought: what do you think is the most powerful way art can connect us to the land and its history? Have any of you experienced that kind of connection in other places? I’d love to hear your stories!
