Join us on an Art & Culture adventure to a unique outdoor gallery in the towering Jurassic rain forest in the heart of the World Heritage-listed Blue Mountains.
‘Sculpture at Scenic World’ is one of Australia’s premier sculpture exhibitions with over 25 works by local, national and international artists, that capture the imaginations of young and old. The works range from subtle sculptures to bold installations that explore themes such as the environment, heritage and culture.
Our adventure starts with an exhilarating ride on either the Scenic Railway (the world’s steepest railway) with the iconic Three Sisters as a backdrop or by Cable Way, accompanied by our guides. Our SWIC tour takes us along the Lillipilli Trail to view the sculptures – approximately 2.5 km of easy accessible walking. Additional information on the tour and details of the organisation for the day will be provided on receipt of your RSVP. You may wish to check out https://www.sculptureatscenicworld.com.au/
