The Lake Dunn Sculpture Trail is the worlds longest sculptor trail and covers a 200 kilometre circuit that loops between Aramac, Lake Dunn and Jericho. There are 40 sculptures installed along this route highlighting Outback elements and life, from emu families to jackaroos.
Milynda Rogers a local artist started by creating a sculptor piece and didn’t have a place to put it. So, she simply placed it out by the road. Thereafter Milynda over the years she would create new pieces and place them at different locations along the local geographical route.
The sculptors are created from rusting odds and ends found locally at the dump or around Barcaldine, these artworks are both beautiful and evocative. The original piece, a three-metre-plus bottle tree brought to life with steel drums wrapped in barbed wire with cattle tags for leaves, was put in place in 2013. But Milynda is continuing her work, with new pieces coming out or in the planning process all the time. At the moment, she is working on a life-size sculpture of pastoralist and explorer Nat Buchanan.
