Seeing Sculptures By the Sea

Thursday I finally did the Bondi to Coogee Coastal Walk that takes you between the two most popular eastern Sydney beaches. There was a time crunch because this cool outdoor sculpture show (Sculptures by the Sea) was going to end on the weekend.

It was pretty cool, there were tons of sculptures all set up along the coastal rocks and on nearby grassy areas, and ranging from the geometric, to the elegant, to the very weird. Here are a few examples, starting with this kangaroo.

 

There’s Italian written on these giant origami things.

These cute little plastic gummy critters were wedged in the rocks next to the path, like they were frolicking around (lots of the sculptures were fitted into the landscape, which was cool – there was a giant truck sculpture scooping up sand on the beach at one point).

These windmills made a clicking sound as they spun around, and there were feathers tied to the tops of each one.

It was pretty cloudy and muggy the whole time, but the sun broke briefly to shine on this dome.

I think this is a type of honeyeater; it’s sitting on top of one of the stone sculptures.

I thought these metal animals were pretty cool, especially the bear.

I loved this Roman frog on a bike – so random!

That was just a snippet of all the weird stuff out and about on the walk, and I saw a nice little sunset after I finished with the sculptures, although then I had to finish the walk to Coogee as it got darker, which was interesting.
