Sculpture by the Sea 2009

October 28th 2009 04:47
The time has come again for the spectacular nature-sculpted stretch of coast between Bondi and Tamarama to be turned into an outdoor gallery
Drew Mansur Derek Mansur panther on the prowl
for 18 days. Over 100 sculptures by artists from around the world will be on show this year at the 13th Sculpture by the Sea exhibition.


The walk is about 2km. The path is considered medium gradient and there are several staircases, some with uneven steps. If you need a breather, or simply wish to sit back and appreciate the view, there are occasional seats along the way.

Please remember to wear a hat and sunscreen. It would also be a good idea to bring drinking water, and your swimmers for a dip at one of the beaches on a hot day.


Founded by David Handley, the exhibition has come a long way since 1997. The inaugural exhibition that year was held for a day with an estimated 25,000 visitors to see the 64 artworks. Last year, 500,000 visitors made their way to the 107 sculptures on display along the coast.


Sculptures shown here are from last year’s exhibition. For more photos to whet your appetite, please see this post.


Where: Bondi to Tamarama (part of the Bondi to Bronte coastal walk)

When: Thursday 29 October to Sunday 15 November 2009

Cost: Free

Getting there: Buses 333, 380, and 381 will get you to Bondi, and Bus 361 to Tamarama. For bus, train and ferry timetables and fares, visit www.131500.com.au.

I have been to a fair few weddings and I must say that the bonbonnieres have come a long way since the small bags of mints that used to be the norm.

These are 6 bonbonnieres I quite liked. There was a seventh bonbonniere that I really liked, but I have no photo of it… I ate it too quickly. It was a glorious glass of chocolate fudge. :9

Pic of the Week: Rock Face

Jenolan Caves face in rock


I didn’t notice this until I did the Jenolan Caves post. In all the times that I have been to Jenolan, I don’t know how I could’ve missed the stern face in the rock overlooking the Blue Lake and the road into the caves

I don’t know if this is really true as claimed, but it’s good for a laugh anyway.

This isn’t a very good photo. The sun light had already receded behind Customs House*, leaving it looking rather drab.

I'm probably just going blind, but I can't seem to find their email...
Will keep my eyes peeled for the post you mentioned!

I was just looking for one of these the other day, Techno. The cheapest I've seen in the shops are around $70-$80. This is a great price!

Their wardrobe is bigger than mine too, katyzzz... and a lot more colourful .

Pretty cool huh, Techno? The sales people probably thought I was a bit strange, but it was worth it to get a photo of this pretty contraption.

Thanks for stopping by!

I took photos of the "dying for a drink" sculpture on the weekend too - very cleverly done.

How do you go about submitting photos to Reuters, katyzzz? I might send some of mine one of these days.

What gorgeous architecture, katyzzz. Some really great examples of natural framing and reflections in these photos. The last one with Nicholas Cage is very cool.
