Today I visited the Sunshine Coast Bushland Botanic Gardens with my family. I have taken a few photos to share some of the sculptures.
The garden was a community driven project in partnership with the local government. The sculptures were created on site between 2005-2009 by both local and international artists. Carved from local sandstone and Marble from North Queensland (fosilised coral reef ), set in a beautiful glade garden surrounded by the Australian bush, these gardens really are a hidden gem.
There was a QR code at the entry which links to a website with some more background and info for those that are interested.

I hope you like the sculpture garden photos and if you ever visit the Sunshine Coast Australia come check them out yourself.

This is the first post I've done in a while due to working too hard then getting slapped down by a health issue. We visited the garden for some nice family time and it was so nice I just had to share it.

I love the fact that all those awesome sculptures are surround by nature. I feel like I see soo many statues and sculptures in non-natural areas, that it's just soo refreshing seeing some in nature.

I love that they were created onsite from local stone and materials by international artists. Each one was sponsored by benefactors who paid the artists travel and living costs.
