(Australia)
The history of the
extraordinary beauty of the place, glorifying the neighborhood of Melbourne,
began with the fact that back in 1930 near Mount Dandenong Australian sculptor
was built hut. Then no one could have imagined that after a while, it was this master
with the help of his great work force will be able to look totally different
look Australians on all the beauty of the surrounding wilderness.
Starting from 1943, the estate of William Ricketts started to decorate statues Aborigines who, according to
the author, expressing serenity and strength, are the epitome of the spirits of
the land. Indeed, looking at the moss-shrouded sculptures of people and
animals, no one has objected to the fact that they are an integral part of the
natural environment that prevails around them.
To date, the reserve (William
Ricketts Sanctuary), reminiscent of a sculpture garden, there are over ninety
sculptures, for the manufacture of which the master, as a rule, use low-fat
clay, as well as certain species of trees. As if growing out of ferns and
branches of these silent creatures Ricketts remind everyone about the
importance to preserve for posterity the diversity of life that exists on this
earth. If you are planning a visit to the green continent tour in Australia in

On what is now called one of
the spectacular sights of Australia, the sculptor had to work productively
throughout his life. Unfortunately, his immense talent, he took with him
forever, and not handing it over to the younger generation.
