Sculptures in the Scrub is located in the Pilliga State Forest to the north of Coonabarabran. The road in is dirt and when we went was badly corrugated. Be careful of the road conditions with respect to your type of car as it may be dangerous in the wet. There are two section to this walk. The first follows the top of the ridge where the sculptures are located, while the second winds around the base and then leads back to the car park (you can get a different perspective of the sculptures from the bottom level).
Five artists have work displayed here in a unique bush environment, with each piece taking advantage of its natural setting to enhance its beauty. As you walk along the bush tracks, you come across each sculpture in turn.
Each sculpture has an information board detailing its meaning and significance to the local aboriginal people.
The bronze of the aboriginal man and child can also be viewed from the base of the escarpment, giving you a second perspective on this sculpture.
Sculptures in the Scrub was an easy and fun walk in the bush with something different to look at along the way.
