Our trip to the Botanic Garden to view the Sculpture Trail

On 10th Feb 2012 we set off on a bus to see the sculpture trail at the Botanic garden.
The sculpture trail is a biennial event at the gardens and is only open over the summer.
We went into the visitors centre and saw the mini sculptures  before heading off to have morning tea
It's amazing how hungry one gets after a bus ride!
then off we went to look at all sculptures.



Barnacles in the water!


We all loved the bird sculptures by Bing Dawe

Jeff Thomson's work - renamed 'Marshmellows' by our children!

The bird watcher


The tropical forest in the Children's Garden (designed by Jill Rice)
had very welcome 'rain'.



Peter Lange's brick dinghy is a permanent exhibit at the gardens  but it was a definite favourite!






'The Bivvy' caught the imagination of many children - it almost turned into a competition -
 how many children can you fit into a bivvy?

100 spades went into this spikey flower!


It was a really hot day and by lunch time we were all exhausted!
