william ricketts sanctuary




Some of the pieces at the William Ricketts Sanctuary in Mt Dandenong.  In 1977 I visited the William Ricketts Sanctuary in Alice Springs. Just remembered I think the Ionesco in Alice Springs is called Pitchie Ritchie.   The setting couldn't be more opposite.  It was a cold day when we visited but dry.  Moss covers a lot of the sculptures but the setting is beautiful.   A recent storm cut a swathe through the sanctuary knocking down several trees and breaking some of the sculptures.  I guess spirituality doesn't hold a lot of sway when it comes to mother nature.
