Sculpture by the Sea, Bondi 2010 - (1)

Michael Le Grand - 'Anaconda

To follow my previous post, I thought it would be appropriate to look at some of the photos I took last year of the 'Sculpture by the Sea' exhibition. It ran from 26th October to 14th November 2010 and featured over 100 sculptures from Australian and overseas artists.

Sculpture by the Sea - Bondi exhibition which celebrates its 15th anniversary this year, is scheduled to begin on the 3rd of November 2011.

Macquarie University - Sculpture Park

Macquarie University has considerable areas of open parkland, with many original sculptures dotted across the campus. My favorite area is the Lakeside Walk, part of which can be seen in the photo below.

Leura Falls Walk

This walk in the Upper Blue Mountains, follows the Leura section of the Prince Henry Cliff Walk for around 2Kms, and has great views from lookouts along the way. My first blog post described part of the Katoomba end of this walking track.

Bridal Veil Falls, Leura

Banksia spinulosa

Another view from Bridal Veil Lookout

Tarpeian Rock Lookout

We started this walk at Gordon Falls Reserve (near the end of Lone Pine Ave.) about 2Km from Leura train station. To finish our walk we turned off the The Prince Henry Cliff Walk, and walked up past the Leura Cascades to the Picnic Area. The Leura Cascades is my banner photo at the top of this blog.

Once back in Leura Mall there is no shortage of cafes.

Wildwalks notes describe the reverse route. The walk to Tarpeian Rock and Bridal Veil Lookouts can also be done as as short walk from Cliff Drive.
