Accessible only by boat, Herring Island, 2.8ha in size, is just 3km from the city, and the only substantial island in the Yarra River.
This informal parkland has provided the inspiration for curator Maudie Palmer to develop a concept in which artists are commissioned to create site-specific sculptures.
Created from natural materials such as stone, earth and wood, the sculptures appear as part of the landscape to reflect the island's unique and tranquil setting.
In particular, different types of stone have been brought from various locations to the island.
Features
Herring Island has free electric BBQs, picnic shelters, and public toilets.
