William Ricketts Sanctuary

Fancy a daytrip with a difference that's within easy striking distance of Melbourne? Well the William Ricketts Sanctuary may just be the ticket. Set in the Dandenongs, the park is set on four acres of bushland and contains the life work of sculpture/artist William Ricketts.

What sets this particular display apart is that the sculptures were designed to fit in with the natural surroundings; displaying the artists’ views on nature, feelings towards the native people of the land, his mother and indeed himself. All set within a leafy tree and fern surrounds. Whether you're an art lover, curious or just fancy a quiet stroll among the shady glade this may be one to add to your ‘to do’ list.
