The pieces in Gateshead are interesting, but they could be anywhere - it's such a loss to have something so part of their place destroyed.Ruth O'Learyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13960970278718542174noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1526120966169276238.post-73415593674901284152011-04-24T19:43:27.651+01:002011-04-24T19:43:27.651+01:00On the outskirts of Melbourne, up in the green hil...On the outskirts of Melbourne, up in the green hills of the Dandenongs Hills is/was a very special 'park'. It was a piece of land an artist had carved aboriginal people and animals into the living trees.<br />You'd walk along the path, with huge green trees overhead, ferns everywhere, dark damp earth, and the carvings popping up unexpectedly.<br />Then you'd come out of the park, go across the road, and go to the cafe there for scones and jam and cream.<br />To our great grief, much of this park was burnt in a bushfire a couple of years ago. It's an irreplaceable loss. The artisan has long passed away.MeganHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14842743721181682681noreply@blogger.com
