LAKE DUNN SCULPTURE TRAIL - BROCHURE

Limited to only 25 trekkers and meeting at Aramac Showgrounds on 5 August, we will spend 5 full days wandering this 200km outback Scenic Loop with our feet as we gaze admiringly at the incredible sculptures whilst learning first hand about the land of our First Nations from Custodians of the Iningai People. Partnering with Yachatdac and supported by Barcaldine Regional Council, this will be both a spiritual and physical journey that will leave you connected to the country we all call “home”.

Local Sculptor Milynda Rogers has sculpted and erected more than 40 sculptures along the 200km Lake Dunn circuit.  Milynda's love of sculpture and incredible ability to turn junk into art will put a smile on your face as you run and/or walk your way through one of the most beautiful and historical parts of Queensland.
