King Neptune
Australia / Two Rocks, Western Australia
Location ID: #10088060
The municipal heritage-listed limestone statue of King Neptune is situated in Two Rocks, a small fishing community 60 kilometres north of Perth. It was built in 1982 to reign over Atlantis Marine theme park, which closed in 1990.
The most significant feature was a huge 10 metre high King Neptune holding his trident which has remained at the site. It overlooked the whole marine park and had panoramic views across the ocean and the township of Two Rocks. The sculpture was created by American sculptor, Mark Le Buse and in 2006 was heritage listed by the Western Australian Heritage Council.
