The Wiliam Rickets Sanctuary
Weddings are special occasions more so if it is held overseas and has a mixture of Malaysian Indian , Irish Australian and Greek Australian. Add in the flavour of a journey from Melbourne to Sydney by the coastal route prior to the celebrations was the spice that made it extremly palatable.
Melbourne eventhough cold was dry and brown , was just recovering from the terrible fires that took so many lives. There were stories of friends driving from melbourne to the village to help and perishing . The heat wave could be felt by friends in Boxhill.
Going up Dandenongs gave us a lovely view of Melbourne . The William Rickets Santuary was deeply moving. The sculptures were vivid in details and perfectly mounted on the trees giving them a life of their own. The theme of oneness of all life forms is truly brought to being. The experience is humbling to realise that William Rickets identified with and understood the indegenous people is to stop and look at the prejudice that one carries around.
