Focus Post: McClelland Sculpture Park + Gallery

This is a focus post about the McClelland Sculpture Park + Gallery near Frankston. If that doesn't sound interesting, I would skip it. 👋

We enjoyed a lovely day at this sculpture park which included over 100 pieces.

Tree of Life by Phil Price 2012

This was our favorite - it was 10m / 33ft tall and moved so well on the breezy day we were there. We learned that Phil Price was from New Zealand and that we had seen some of his work there. He splits time between Melbourne and Lyttelton (just outside Christchurch) so we hope to visit his studio on our next trip to New Zealand. 🇳🇿
