Although he continued to live there and add to his collection of works, the Victorian Government purchased the property from him and managed it as a public park for several decades before his death in 1993.

It felt so sacred, I didn't even dare to touch it. Even taking pictures felt like sacrilege! It is said that William Ricket created this park without the knowledge of the outside world. It was only discovered after his death!

Are they made of stone? They almost look carved in wood and really blend in well with the garden.

And that green just adds to the whole drama of the place. I would totally love to explore it.
