Sculptures of the Long Paddock

“To stop and view the Headless Horseman sculpture at sunset  is one of the truly great tourism experiences  not only in NSW but I would say all of Australia”   Peta Belle, Melbourne, Victoria.

The Long Paddock boasts 11 large scale sculptures that tell the stories, tales and history of the region. The sculptures are fast becoming an iconic stop on the Australian Tourism Bucket List. The sculptures are not only a great photo opportunity, they reflect the heart and soul of these small rural communities.  The sculptures are a beautiful reflection of the impact this region has had on the wealth and success of the nation.
