Within the Living Desert Reserve there are two must see major attractions which are the nationally known Sculpture Symposium and the Flora and Fauna Sanctuary.
The Sculptures comprise 12 Sandstone artworks which highlight the skyline, all with a story to tell. Located on a majestic hilltop within the centre of the Reserve, the Sculptures were completed in 1993 by artists from around the world.
Access to the Sculptures can be by vehicle after gaining a key from the Visitor Information Centre or by walking trail from the picnic area. Fees Apply.
The Flora and Fauna Sanctuary is also located centrally from the picnic area and comprises an area of 180ha bordered by an electric predator-proof fence. This Sanctuary, although providing protection to our endemic kangaroos has been planned and designed carefully to provide visitors with a unique insight into flora, fauna and Aboriginal culture of Western New South Wales. This is truly a sanctuary with a difference; the 12km cultural trail within the Sanctuary takes you on a journey through the Arboretum and Sturt Pea Wildflower display, Aboriginal attractions display past culture and recent contemporary story pole artwork
