Just north of Boddington, a short detour along Gold Mine Road leads to one of the area’s most distinctive public artworks. The Bacchus Lord of the Grapes sculpture is a striking cement creation by artist Len Zuk, depicting Bacchus, the Roman god of wine and agriculture. Larger than life and rich in detail, Bacchus is portrayed with flowing robes, grape clusters, a wine cup, and an ivy crown, symbols closely associated with celebration, harvest and abundance. The sculpture blends art, mythology and local identity, creating a memorable visual landmark that reflects both the agricultural heritage of the area and the imaginative spirit of public art. The location serves as a pleasant detour, perfect for those seeking the unexpected along the road. Art lovers, photographers and curious travellers alike are often drawn to the sculpture’s bold presence and playful theme. Bacchus Lord of the Grapes offers a unique and slightly whimsical experience, adding interest to the Boddington region and rewarding those who take the short detour to discover it.
