The living sculptures in the desert outside Broken Hill - this is the Georgian Horse. A group of sculptors from around the world came to this landmark site and created the interesting and diverse sandstone sculptures that can now be viewed on this site.
The path from the car park up to the sculptures takes detours across the landscape
It was very windy and cold on the day I visited with Michael McKeon a fellow teacher and resident at the YHA.
Trees are not a big feature of this landscape
Pro Hart was also a sculptor - this one is very good and cheerful
Into the world of Pro Hart's Gallery, where you will see the breadth of his work across his life
This is a painting of the steel works and the brushwork is so complex I had to look twice

A result of his paint blasting gun

Pro Hart's palette and brushes - pretty much as he left them
The painting studio in the gallery with easel - one of his dragonfly pictures
