Historical information

At the end of a short side path, the concrete rolls up into a large cylinder, like a giant classical scroll that is stopped by a boulder. This wonderful sculpture is an eloquent comment on the power of nature over the built environment. Located within a parkland environment that borders Merri Creek, it reminds us of what lies beneath the city and the persistence of the earth, and the strength of its stories. It was developed as part of the Public Art Program 1997.
