The area of this unique garden — only four acres (about 160 hundred parts). However "The potter's sanctuary" by right is considered the most unusual, even mystical sight of Australia, and created by hands of only one person!
This unique garden of sculptures is completely obliged by the emergence to William Ricketts, the Australian sculptor and the potter who lived many years among natives of the smallest continent of the planet. Impressed with that, how close Australian natives communicate with the nature and as think of it much, Ricketts decided to create a series of sculptures which could transfer such atmosphere of a unification with a native habitat.
The garden of sculptures "The potter's sanctuary" is in only several kilometers from Melbourne, about the mountain Dandenong. In the depth of a rainforest 92 sculptures which represent natives of Australia — men, of women and children settled down. There are also figures of animals. Sculptures literally grow from the boulders which grew with a moss or trunks of trees. Some figures as if protect each other, stretch wings, expressively look at visitors of a garden.
The sculptor worked on creation of park within 33 years! Itself I chose a place for a garden, I constructed a hut here and I worked on creation of sculptures from ceramics and a tree. The garden "Potter's Sanctuary" very unusually looks, bewitches at first sight. On footpaths of a garden it is possible to walk for hours, admiring unusual, almost live figures which symbolize a unification with the nature. A garden — the real museum open-air which should be visited to each traveler who went to Australia
