In 2015 thirteen carved stone monoliths were installed on the Maleny Trail pathway on a section that runs parallel to the Obi Obi Creek from near the Riverside Shopping Centre to the creek near the Lighthorse pavilion. The sculptures are installed along a section that is wide cement path that enables all people, including those in chairs or walkers, to see and reflect on the pieces.
The sculptures were created by 13 non-sculpture artists who volunteered to carve the pieces under the guidance of Craig Medson. Part of the story is recorded on the signage below. The Peace in the Trees Sculpture walk was opened in September 2015.
Six years on the Sunshine Coast Council arranged to have the works cleaned and sealed - thanks to Fiona McCarron, Edith-Ann Murray and Julie Hauritz (SCC).
The works have nestled into the landscape - settled in amongst the trees and plants as they were designed to do.
A few photos of the cleaned works follow.
