A mob of 21 kangaroos has invaded the beautiful gardens of the historic Edrington Homestead in Melville Park Drive Berwick, once the home of Lord Casey, Australia’s first Governor General.
The steel sculptured kangaroos are in place ready for the Edrington Aveo Grand Art Exhibition and Garden of Sculptures to be held on 3–5 March.
The kangaroos were made by sculpture artist David Doyle of Kilsyth.
The exhibition will feature art by leading Victorian and interstate artists displayed in 10 rooms over two floors in the homestead.
The private historic homestead will be open to the public for an art show for the first time since 2013.
There will be a number of large sculptures in the garden for the first time in any art show in the region.

The exhibition will also feature a dedicated section for scratch boards and small petite paintings.
Another special feature will be real life paintings of people and the wonderful and amazing things humans do.
