Eight artists utilised twenty tonnes of stone in 2005 to produce the many sculptures now placed in the Maroochy Regional Bushland Botanic Gardens' bushland and landscaped garden setting. The lawn areas and seating in this area provide a secluded location for quiet contemplation of the natural beauty of the garden.
