Yesterday we caught the train down to Sydney to visit the annual exhibition of Sculpture by the Sea on the Coastal Path between Tamarama Beach and Bondi Beach. After leaving the train at Bondi Junction, we caught a bus to Tamarama where we started our walk. There were many sculptures on the beach and it was nice to feel the sand beneath our feet as we walked around to view them. After that we joined the Coastal Walk to view more sculptures on the cliff face and ended up in Mark's Park where we saw many more. We also had lunch here, buying a sandwich from a local food outlet and sitting at a picnic table and bench in the Park. As the sun was now getting very hot, we were lucky to find a spot in the shade to enjoy our lunch.
"Damien Hirst Looking for Sharks" by Cool Shit
This was a large inflatable sculpture paying homage to one of Damien Hirst's most important works. "The Physical Impossibility Of Death in The Mind Of Somebody Living".
A new variation of the cut and fold technique. The sculpture admits the viewer into its space, both conceptually and physically.
Buddy invites visitors to reflect and rediscover their surroundings.
Taking the elements of (Byobu) Japanese screen art, a delicately painted interior artform and reimagining it as an exterior screen. A focal point for reflection and as a window to the soul of its surroundings.

I like the last one best.
Yes I agree. Some of them were unusual but they were all very interesting and huge crowds were there to see them. We didn't see them all. We just did what we could manage as there were lots of steps along the path and the path was steep in parts.
