This place has an amazing sight at every turn truly breathtaking in every way I spent a few hours here mesmerized by the clay sculptures and the brilliance of the artist! This is a must see if you have a free afternoon and are 8n the area the pictures don't do it justice you must come see for yourself!!

The drive alone up the this sanctuary is worth visiting alone.Beautiful scenery outside of Melbourne central.The sanctuary itself is beautiful. Very easy to walk around on the walking tracks with stunning artwork to stop and view along the way and some beautiful history to learn.Allow at least an hour here and then make sure you continue to drive around and explore the rest of the Dandenong ranges.

Magical place full with works by Australian sculptor William Ricketts. Entry is free with a donation box situated near the entrance. The ceramics are primarily of an indigenous and spiritual nature. The fired ceramic pieces sit mostly outdoors moulded onto huge rocks surrounded by native bush. A 45 minutes walk around the undulating (and steep in places) pathways, it is easy to spend a few hours. Good audio and audio visual information is present. Hugely interesting for all ages.

Excellent place to visit. Great art work by William and very well preserved. A beautiful walk while seeing and praising his art work. They have set up to play movie / documentary about his life, his aspirations and his work.His love for nature and his passion for art is very clear in his work. Its a great place to visit and feel refreshed. If you love art and nature then this is a place to go.There is a cafe across the road and also few other places around to look.

This place has a one of kind charm and beauty which is totally worth a visit. Perfect for all ages and kid friendly. However, required some maintenance. I would highly recommend looking for the audio tour which is free to listen to while you walk through the garden! Find it on the William Ricketts website - audio guide map

Amazing place created by a man who had an amazing spirit. It's a must visit place and would be a good point of education for any Australian or anyone who is interested in Australian history. Beautiful landscape, beautiful sculptures and wonderful staff to help you out.

An amazing place to visit. You can feel the sense of the art and the nature the communication between the earth, the nature and the human kind. William Ricketts was able to explain Australia to all the world. I think that Australia is unique in the world.l, even the native and we have to respect both. We must be grateful for this amazing place

I have been there twice and just love this little cosy hidden gem of Melbourne. The sculptures around the garden are beautifully crafted with so much attention to detail. There is no ticket but you can make some donation. Worth a visit guys!!
