Focus on Collector, New South Wales and explore the Dreamer's Gate.
Collector is also famous for the controversial sculpture Dreamer by Tony Phantastes, built between 1993 and 1997 to commemorate, among other things, his father and son's life. His artistic vision was to create a wonderland to document the history of Australian land-use practices. A Gothic structure of cement and chicken wire, the artist and the Gunning Shire Council are in constant battle regarding the structure since 1999. The plot in which the sculpture stands was for sale and the sculpture itself under demolition orders but still stands as of May 2021. Unfortunately, the piece has started to rust and has become structurally unstable.
