Living Desert Sculptures, Broken Hill, New South Wales

In 1993 a diverse group of artists including refugees and Indigenous Australians were united by 53 tonnes of sandstone in the red-dirt desert, north of Broken Hill to take part in the month-long 'Broken Hill Sculpture Symposium.' Each artist spent the month sleeping, eating, getting to know each other and most importantly carving in their desert camp. The result is the now famous living desert sculptures outdoor gallery. The works are immense and the stories touching as you walk the route admiring the labour intense nature of the works and the environment in which they were created.
