On Wednesday 23 March 2016 we visited the 7th Biennial.
Viewing sculpture in natural surrounds creates an awareness of natural forms
in the environment.

Absolutely buggered suffering the flu it has taken me 3 days before I was able to update my blog - Saturday 26 March 2016. It is well worth a visit while the Biennial is on to visit Palmer but its not for the faint hearted. Be prepared with good walking shoes, water and a hat and reasonable health. I suffered for it this time. But I enjoyed it.
