I believe I can safely say that William Ricketts Sanctuary was one of the most peaceful places that I have ever visited. Just walking through the forest and seeing all those artworks that were made not by harming but by trying to be in synch with nature was an amazing experience. Of course, I was lucky enough to visit this place with my favourite person in the world and she was my guide in everything as well as taking me to this wonderful place. She and her mother love travelling and were nice enough to take me places that I would not be able to go and discover on my own. You should visit this place, full of many works of art, if you are interested in the aboriginal culture and history, it is another perspective into the culture. Also, the artworks are situated in such a way that takes you away and the peace and quiet just lets you fall into the depths of your inner self. You will be amazed. read more

Really cool park to check out which features the work of William Ricketts, an Australian sculptor. The sanctuary is filled with trees and ferns so it's a very nice shaded walk. The walk itself is not long, will definitely take less than an hour. Free admission and free parking. No food or drinks allowed in the park. read more

Take a wander through some beautiful forest paths all surrounded by and incorporated into amazing works of art. It is only a short drive from melbourne and well worth visiting. You will learn a lot about local aboriginal life and history. And learn about the life of William rickett. read more

I really enjoyed my visit there. The cravings are amazing! The walk around is easy - perhaps if you are older some parts could be considered "moderate". While I don't know if it is worth a whole day out - if you are in the area it is definitely check it out! There is no admission fee - they just ask you make a donation. read more

I guess the old-style building here is what gives this place the charm that it happens to have, and also that it happens to be located right in the middle of all the action.
