I looked past this sculpture into a tangle of trees and shrubs and didn't see a well loved, well kept or well maintained place. The bushland past this sculpture is home to the 'Cumberland Plain Land Snail', a tiny creature found in Western Sydney. 

Inscribed into panels making up the snails outer shell are interesting facts about the Cumberland snail

▪ The land snail is uniform in tone in any shade of brown
▪ A fragile shell, semi-transparent in nature, and glossy in appearance
▪ The land snail can dig several CM into soil to escape drought
▪ They shelter under bark, leaves and are mainly active at night
▪ The land snail is listed as one of six endangered invertebrates in NSW
▪ Land snails are hermaphrodites and lay 20-30 small white eggs

The snail was another sculpture not on my map but something I drove past. It's found near the edge of the grass near a tree line off the corner near Gregory Hills Drive and Correa CCT.
