“Life Forms” has sprouted new botanic features…

Artist, Christopher Trotter, was excited to return to the Mackay Regional Botanic Gardens during August, to revamp and add some new features to the Life Forms Sculpture at the front entrance of the Gardens.

Come along and see the changes that have been made…a completely new fungi form has been installed, as well as repairs to the platypus and some new mushrooms.

It is really incredible how Christopher Trotter takes pieces of metal from farm machinery, vehicles, and industrial installations to create these life forms in such a unique and creative way.

Who would have thought to use brakes, plough blades, cement mixers and shower heads to make Rainforest fungi?

Take some time to have a closer look when you visit the Botanic Gardens at the front entrance.
