Sculpture Trail – Barcaldine

There is a Sculpture Trail of approximately 200 kilometres in the Barcaldine region. Due to the road conditions and time-frame, I only completed the Aramac to Lake Dunn section. this is an enjoyable drive, and had time permitted Lake Dunn would have been a great place to spend the night. Here’s a photo record of the sculptures. Made from locally sourced materials by local land-owners, they are all quite unique, and are located at intervals along the road.

If you’re sqeamish you may not want to look beyond the crayfish – I’ve included a photo showing how the local farmers deal with and dissuade dingoes / wild dogs.

If you’re still with me after that, scroll to the end to see the (real life) brolgas I saw on the way. I was privileged to see them dancing, which was very special.

Goes well with my car, really…

Is this a dog or a dingo? Another I saw looked exactly the same. Is it a warning for other animals, or a warning to animal owners who don’t control or restrain their dogs, leading to attacks on stock. Farmers are within their rights to shoot animals which attack their stock.
Brolgas dancing – it only lasted a moment, I wish I’d been quicker with the camera!
A chest bump to finish off…
…and as quick as that it was over and they went their separate ways
