William Ricketts died in 1993 at the ripe old age of 94 but he will always be remembered as his figure, too, is dotted around the tranquil fern gully, forever connected to both the family and the land he so loved.

Great clip!

Those are fantastic. I would love to see those for myself.

Wonderful Art

Hidden deep within a lush Australian rain forest are a set of mystical Aborigine sculptures seemingly merged into the natural surroundings.

Imagine someone stumbling across these amazing sculptures in some future time. What would that someone think?

This is truly a labor of love, of Art for Art's Sake.
