Hey guys! We're back with another instalment of things to do in Sydney! If you're into art and scenery, then you'll love Sculpture by the Sea, an annual sculpture exhibition that takes place along the Bondi to Tamarama coastal walk. The exhibition generally runs from late October to early November for around three weeks. This event is the largest sculpture exhibition worldwide, and features artists from all over the globe. What makes this experience so unique is that you get the chance to view the artworks within a gorgeous environmental landscape, which really adds a new dimension as opposed to visiting a traditional art gallery.
One of the most exciting parts of the event was the pop-up cafe by the Grounds of Alexandria, aptly named Grounds by the Sea. This year it was hobbit-themed, inspired by JRR Tolkien's Lord of the Rings. The decor was reminiscent of the hobbit hole, and it even had a sign-post pointing down to Middle Earth! Annette opted for the ham and cheese toastie with pickles, which was tasty but definitely a bit too salty for her liking. Lillian decided to go with the beef burger, which was classic but slightly oily, however the sauce was tangy and balanced well with the cheese and beef. The smoothies were really pleasant and refreshing; Annette had the mango mulch, which was very fruity and not too sweet, while Lillian had the berried treasure which was similarly enjoyable. It was pretty expensive, but yunno, #YOLO.
P.S. If you do decide to go to Sculpture by the Sea in the future, try to be a little better prepared than us, and don't leave it too late! We went on the last day, when the coastal walk was super packed and it was really hard to take good photos and enjoy the sculptures fully. But despite all of that, it was still a great experience and you should definitely consider it if you haven't been there already.
