Tonight’s statue offerings come from the William Ricketts Sanctuary, which is located near the Dandenong Ranges, a gorgeous mountainous tree and fern filled area an hour east of Melbourne, Victoria.

It was an interesting walk around to see his work anyway, and for a pair of statue connoisseurs by the name of John, there were plenty of imitation opportunities. I’ve added a few more regular photos below, as it really was quite strange seeing all these artifacts nestled in among the trees …
