Introducing Lucky Labyrinth!!!



 Lucky, and his friends Bindi and Bandi

Lucky will bring a smile to the faces of all labyrinth visitors,and, along with Bindi  Bandi and others, will feature in labyrinth-related publicity. signage, and books. 

Layout of the Labyrinth

We have a provisional design - only in this rough sketch and not on the ground - which winds between trees and out into more open areas, and has the magic feel that walking a winding path that takes you in unexpected ways can bring.  The photo shows some of the various bricks we plan to use.  Our trial layout showed that the feel of the path changes with the size and type of brick  so the more different bricks we can get, the better.

Centre of labyrinth

Labyrinth Centre

The shady central circle will have seating and a medium-size meta lbox (suitably painted, and with a plywood top so it can be used as a seat) which can hold lots of treasures such as a visitors book, information on the labyrinth and the  Art Precinct, puzzles and games and a geocache. The box will be securely fixed in place, and locked with a combination lock.  The combination can be found by walking the labyrinth - or from the BICAS desk.

What's Needed

Spaces between bricks will be filled with mortar - and we are looking for fairly flat, small 1 to 2 cm rocks or pebbles that could be set into the mortar to add visual interest.

Bricks and pavers of all sorts, sizes and quantities can be added (neatly) to our piles beside the boardroom.  We have offers of other bricks near Ningi and Bellmere and need a ute or heavy duty trailer to pick up a load in early October - please let me know if you can help.
 

What Next????

I am off to the Kimberleys until 30 September, and the building of the labyrinth will start on Sunday, 2 October and will continue most Sundays, Mondays, Tuesdays and Fridays (weather permitting) 7 am to 10 am.  All help  welcome - just come along!
