On our last visit to Mount Dandenong National Park on 30 December, we got as far as the William Ricketts Sanctuary carpark before hunger overtook us and we opted for sustenance rather than sculptures!This time we were much better prepared, having ensured we enjoyed a lovely BBQ lunch before making our way to the "Forest of Love". We were surprised to find there was no entry fee, so happily paid $10 to hire two MP3 players to play an audio tour. (It is possible to download these podcasts here).
It was very pleasant wandering along the paths through the ferns. We sat for a while in the artist's former residence to watch two short documentaries about the works, which were interesting viewing. Our visit has prompted much discussion as to both the artistic and idealogical merit of the sculptures - easily $10 worth of entertainment!
