Sculpture by the sea is an annual art event held on the coastal walk between Tamarama and Bondi http://www.sculpturebythesea.com/exhibitions/bondi.aspx. We didn't make it last year as each time we wanted to go it was either too late, too hot, too busy, Justin's nap time, etc. This year there was no excuse as Justin wakes up quite early and you have no other choice but to get up as well. Luckily we headed out early as even at 8am, we circled Bronte looking for parking for a good 20 -30 mins, guess other parents had the same idea as us! It was a hot morning and there were many families milling around enjoying the different sculptures. It took us about an hour and a half to see most of the sculptures and by that time it was crowded and very hot. Personally, I'm not a fan of abstract art so I will admit that towards the end I just wanted it to finish. The description or name of each piece is so small and sometimes it wasn't worth jostling the crowds to read so in the end, it was just a piece of wood, or an old TV set, or a big pipe!
Justin's favourite sculptures were the shark, the tortoise, the funny creatures and the tap which he tells us is the tap for George from his book 'The Smartest Giant in Town'.
But at least we finally made it this Sydney must do - must see event and we can tick it off our list. And who knows, maybe next year we shall go have a look again.
