Stonehenge Replica To Be Built In Australia
An entrepreneur plans to construct an exact replica of Stonehenge in Australia.
Ross Smith, the former owner of a successful microbrewery business, hopes the monument will be ready in time for Australia’s next summer solstice, on December 21.
“I’m doing it because I can,” said Mr Smith, who plans to reconstruct the ancient monument on land he owns in the Margaret River region of Western Australia.
“Nowhere in the world has a complete Stonehenge been built.”
The structure will be made with 2,500 tonnes of granite quarried from Esperance, on Western Australia’s south coast.
The £700,000 project, to be called The Henge, will include 101 granite stones arranged in an inner and outer circle and a central altar.
Unlike the original Stonehenge, guests will be encouraged to play around the new monument, which will also have an interpretive centre and a children’s playground.
Mr Smith said The Henge would be a business venture, to be hired out for weddings and other events.
Taking the inspiration of Stonehenge, literally, Ross Smith wants to create a replica in Australia. He plans to use “The Henge” as a business venture for weddings and events.

The Stonehenge in Australia would certainly be a piece of art and of course, rousing business. I feel like investing a Dollar!

Great idea but also pretty risky (700 000!). If this project is successful this could lead to a new trend of reconstruction of ancient monuments… I’m very excited about this idea, hopefully it works. The entrepreneur will certainly get a lot of attention.
