Residents of the small mining city of Broken Hill in the Australian outback recently woke up to find a surprise life-size LEGO forest had popped up overnight. The LEGO Forest is part of the traveling LEGO Festival of Play and will be on display near Broken Hill at the Living Desert Reserve until July 12, 2012.

The Forest consists of 15 of the iconic LEGO ‘pine’ trees scaling 4 metres in height and 15 flower sets. The LEGO Forest trees and flowers are 1:1 in ratio replicas of the original iconic pieces, but over 66 times bigger in size to make the magical play world a reality.
