Heart of Country (2021)
Lila Park TSR, Condobolin
‘Heart of Country’ is an attempt to acknowledge the injustices endured by the Wiradjuri people, whilst also standing as testament to the collective resilience and determination of all indigenous Australians, and their profound spiritual connection with the land.
Between the Silence and the Heartbeat (2023)
Travelling Stock Reserve, Condobolin

Wandering (2021)
Travelling Stock Reserve, Condobolin
Unlike the other sculptures that feature along the SDL trail, ‘Wandering’ does not have a narrative. While the abstract piece was made in reference to the picturesque landscape in which it sits, it invites the viewer to create a narrative for themselves.
Utes in the Paddock (2007)
The Gipps Road, Condobolin
A quirky display of 17 Holden Utes, painted by prominent Australian and local artists. It all started when local farmers Jana and Graham Pickles headed off on a well-deserved holiday across the United States, travelling the famed Route 66. They were drawn to an unusual attraction named ‘Cadillac Ranch’, located in western Texas. Intrigued by the ranch’s popularity, the Pickles returned with the inkling of a notion. Locals donated the vehicles, gifted artists donated their time and talent, and in August 2007 an art attraction without parallel was born.
