| One of the sculptures at sunset |
Put the 18th of May in you diary for a celebration in Broken Hill as there will be simple festivities for the 20th anniversary of the famous Living Desert Sculpture Symposium.
The
sculptures were completed in May 1993 and have
since become a major Broken Hill tourist attraction. I love going to the Sculpture Symposium when I'm visiting the City. They are an amazing site especially at sunset and sunrise, but you can go anytime to enjoy them.
Council will waive the admission fee to the site and have a free sausage sizzle and cool drinks for visitors between 11am and 1pm on 18th of May.
Twelve
international sculptors created the works from 52 tonnes of sandstone from Wilcannia which is about 196 km east of Broken Hill.
In
recognition of Broken Hill's mining past, the sculptors used miner's old tungsten chisels to
create their works of art.
