It's that time of year when more than 100 wierd and wonderful sculptures from Australia and all over the world line the cliffs and parks along the Bondi to Tamarama coastal walk. It's the world's largest outdoor art exhibition and is open free to the public.
Mengenang (memory in Balinese)
I love this - 222 bamboo poles that represent each of the people who died in the Bali bombings. Each pole has a device that spins in the wind, hits the bamboo and makes a beautiful sound like a Balinese musical instrument. The windier it gets the stronger the sound. I'd like to see this stay here as a permanent memorial.
View TM
This happens to be one of the most beautiful views on the walk.
Mirador
Spanish "a turret, window, or balcony designed to command an extensive outlook"
Intercut Head Hand and Figure
Sea Nest
The Optomist
you've gotta be an optomist
Upside Down Again
No Return
Paper Boats
Emblematic
A giant metallic kangaroo with boots and shopping trolley
Not sure of the meaning of this one, the use of the kangaroo to sell Australia, or something to do with QANTAS workers losing jobs. Any ideas?
See some of last year's sculptures here & here. I'm hoping to go and see more at the Tamarama end of the walk this week.
See you later!
