Thetraveljunkie.org – On our way back from Blairgowrie we decided to visit McClelland Sculpture Park and Gallery, celebrated as the home of Australian sculpture. Located 41 minutes from Blairgowrie or Melbourne at the gateway to the Mornington Peninsula.
A quite and silent location where present and future are represented by materials and curves, and where artists wanted to turn art into sculpture, sculpture into beauty, and beauty into therapy.
With a wide-ranging collection of more than 100 sculptures, the park comprises eight hectares of designed landscape and vast areas of indigenous bushland.
And, McClelland’s exhibition program focuses on the development of modern sculpture and various forms of spatial practice, and encourages contemporary artists to develop and address challenging issues current in Australia and a global context.
Stay tuned for more of our adventures in Melbourne, Australia.

Since you’re here…
… we have a small favour to ask. More people are reading the Travel Junkie than ever but advertising revenues across the blog are falling fast. And unlike many news organisations, we haven’t put up a paywall – we want to keep our blogsm as open as we can. So you can see why we need to ask for your help. The Travel Junkie’s independent, travel blogsm takes a lot of time, money and hard work to produce. But we do it because we believe our perspective matters – because it might well be your perspective, too.
If everyone who reads our blog posting, who likes it, helps to support it, our future would be much more secure. For as little as $5, you can support The Travel Junkie – and it only takes a minute. Thank you.
