The crucifix stands alone in a clearing surrounded by bush and tall trees.

The top of the crucifix stands at least 3 metres from the ground. The crucifix is made of very heavy wrought timbers bolted together and mounted on a stone pedestal. The statue is a traditional figure of Christ carved in stone.
