Anyone who lives in Hillview Circuit in South Kiama or has driven through is aware of the amazing sculpture garden at the very northern end of the circuit, which is overrun with amazing metal sculptures.

The sculptor is Mike Tikkeros and he admits he has run out of space at his home to store the many sculptures he has made.

One surprising fact is that the sculptures are surprisingly easy to transport, as Mike has designed the various parts to all click in and out. “You have to think like an engineer,” Mike says.

Most parts are scavenged from various places, even unusual pieces of wood he finds in nature.

Many are repurposed parts from various pieces of machinery, with over one thousand parts from different machines. 

The sculptures include all such ideas, mainly from metal. The most striking is the more than two-metre high metal sculpture of the creature from the movie ‘Alien’ in his front garden.

The sculptures also include yachts, boats, movie cameras, frogs, aliens, instruments (electric guitar – Van Halen fan), violin, didgeridoo, harp, and many other ideas.

There are now more than 300 sculptures in his home. Mike says his lounge room no longer has a lounge because it's been taken over by sculptures, but his wife Kylie is OK with it.
