Tamarama Beach (Sydney Sandstone Part 2)


Here is a longer view of the beach where yesterday's sandstone outcrop was photographed. You can see it in the top photo, with the Surf Life Saving Club built on top of the cliff. It's Tamarama Beach, during the Sculpture By The Sea exhibition. Now it is easy to understand why Sydney has such sandy beaches - it all relates to the raw material! And the gaps in the sandstone eroded to form the huge number of beautiful beaches along the Sydney coastline.

  4. What a great beach! I'd park myself right next to the fat person with the legs outstretched. Are these sculptures here all the year round? I wondered if the sea comes in enough to cover them?

  5. No wonder your beaches are renowned all over the world — now we know why!

    The beach just looks absolutely fabulous with the art pieces! I forgot to thank you for that series — I really enjoyed it.

  6. Wonderful photo! I also like seeing the bigger picture of all that sculpture. It was hard to imagine so many pieces in one place. But now that I see it - it fits perfectly!
