Hailey Goes To Oz: Sculptures By The Sea

Every year, artists from around the world come to Sydney to exhibit their art outdoors at an event called Sculpture by the Sea. It is staged alongside Sydney's gorgeous Bondi to Tamarama coastal walk and is Australia's largest annual outdoor free to the public exhibition of sculpture. This year there were 100 sculptures from 7 different countries.

We started at Bondi Beach and walked to Tamarama Beach stopping along the way to have lunch on the rocks at McKenzies Bay but then we continued on and did the rest of the Coastal Walk even after the sculptures ended. We passed Bronte Beach, Clovelly, Gordon's Bay, and then ended at Coogee where we laid out on the beach for awhile. It was beautiful; however, little did we know that all along the way we were slowly but surely being introduced to our first and worst Australian sunburns! Our shoulders and faces and ears suffered greatly for about a week afterwards! Even as I write this 9 days after the event, my shoulders and forehead are peeling off in layers. Gross!

This isn't actually a sculpture. Apparently there is a man that lives in a little cave on Bondi Beach. We found it during the Coastal Walk-he has a pretty sweet set up to be honest!
