BH Sculptures

            One of the best things to do in Broken Hill is to visit the Sculptures which are 12ks out, 
The Living Desert and Sculptures
The Living Desert Reserve is nestled amongst the Barrier Ranges and is located 9km from the City of Broken Hill. The Living Desert is a unique 2400ha reserve which commenced in 1992. The topography, scenery and views within the reserve are breathtaking and are captured throughout the numerous walking trails.

Located within the reserve, settled amongst the tranquility of the gullies and rocky outcrops is the 180ha Living Desert Flora and Fauna Sanctuary which is bordered by an electric predator proof fence. The Flora and Fauna Sanctuary will allow visitors to gain an educational and cultural experience to further enhance and understand Aboriginal Heritage and to instil the importance of preservation of the environment for the benefit of future generations.

Another major attraction within the Living Desert is the Sculpture Site. A successful sculpture symposium was held on this majestic hilltop (within the centre of the reserve) in 1993 by artists from around the world, under the direction of organiser and artist Lawrence Beck. 12 sandstone sculptures highlight the skyline, all with a story to tell. The Sculpture Site can be accessed via a 1 km walking trail starting from the Flora and Fauna Sanctuary car park. There’s also a vehicle access to the sculptures.
