LEGO is celebrating 50 years in australia with an array of installations across the country, with the most recent set up in the rural town of broken hill, new south wales. residents of the outback locale were surprised to wake up to a life-size forest made up of 15 four-meter high pine trees and flower sets recreated to a 1:1 ratio of the original pieces, and then supersized to be 66 times bigger. the enormous toys speckle the living desert, contrasting red dust plains and blue skies as a part of the brand’s ‘festival of play’.

What a great idea! I love it! Is this going to be a permanent installation, and if not, how long will it be at Broken Hill?
Would have been nice to have a picture with a person or something to provide a little better scale, You can sort of get that with the building, but it is set behind everything making it difficult.
Really cool though
Wow I think I might move into the outback now. It looks like I could have a fun time maybe. I mean I like lego so it would be fun having giant lego close to me you know?
hardly ecological. Even if “LEGO” is making everything out of recycled water bottles… how about the transportation fuel. Ironic that it mimics nature.

truly grand, what a novel idea to put out in the desert instead of in the big citys
