Nestled in the lush rainforest of Marysville, Australia, is the home of sculptor and painter Bruno Torfs. Bruno has created a magical world in his garden, populated by fantastical figures sculpted by Bruno himself. The garden was a popular tourist attraction but sadly the bushfires that devastated so much of the area in 2009 also destroyed Bruno’s home and garden.

A book and DVD are available to buy which tells the story of the garden as it was and as it is now after the rebuilding, filled with beautiful photography and paintings.
