A number of pieces of artwork were created by the Glenlyon community during the Nature Devours Art project, led by artist Jodie Goldring.

Community member Kaye Powell said the Glenlyon Biolink Walk was a known walking track among locals as a lot of wildlife, such as wallabies, bird life and even echidnas, could be glimpsed there. 

She participated in a number of the sessions and said the social aspect of creating the works was most enjoyable for her.

"I used to be an art teacher but I've never done anything quite like this before. The project was great because it gets you out there talking with other people while creating something a bit different," she said.

"We are so used to great works of art being cordoned off behind glass but this is lovely and really enhances our area."

Goldring sought out and worked with a number of community groups throughout the project.

The craft group created randomly woven nests out of Lomandra Longifolia while the playgroup made mud and grass nests which they installed along the walk with their mums. 

"There were a small group of dedicated locals who participated in the entire project and developed some great skills. It was lovely spending time getting to know and guid[ing] them through weaving experiences in such a beautiful surrounding," Goldring said.

On another day, a carload of basketry students from Creswick showed up to lend a hand.

"It was a challenging activity to manipulate wild willow to create birds and took about five hours of hard work," Goldring said. "They really appreciated being invited to come and join in the project."

On another day, children created boats which they released down the Loddon River. 

"I ended up teaching three sessions of boat building throughout the day. We painted the bottom with wax so they floated well and found a great rapid to float them on," Goldring said.

The installations, made from nature, are designed to disintegrate into the environment. Goldring has since created a permanent installation at Glenlyon Hall - five boats arranged together to depict the shape made by the river as it winds through the township.

They have been made from materials found along the Biolink.
