Sculptural Walks with Bianca Hester - 'Keira Walking Corridor'

Come along to a sculptural walk as part of Bianca Hester's Circuits of solar descent work at Sculpture in the Garden!

Bianca Hester's work involves a walking series, un-mown circles of grass as gathering points, and bronze sculptures bearing impressions of Illawarra-based plant life from across timescales.

This walk, Keira Walking Corridor, is led by Leon Fuller (author of Wollongong’s Native Trees) and Emma Rooksby (Chair of Landcare Illawarra and winner of the City of Wollongong Environmental Achievement Award 2023), co-instigators of the Growing Illawarra Natives project.

It focuses on the Keira Green Corridor as a concept and ecology that extends from Mt Keira/Geera to coastal reserves such as Puckey’s Estate.

Meet at the grass circle on the Mercury Lawn (see site 9A on the map).
