This is one of my favourite events in Sydney. Sculptures are placed either side of a path that traces the cliffs above the coast, to the East of Sydney city.
I went with some friends of mine who regularly buy pieces if they find something that appeals.
Unfortunately this year there seems to have been an increase in the prices, and a decrease in pieces that piqued an interest.
I’ve posted some photos in the gallery. Some at a stupid resolution so zoom in and check out the details.
I was a bit disappointed by the standard of works this year so it was thin pickings.

I'm off for a week, so here are some photos dedicated to the people who have made some very nice comments ;-)

I've used some old photos that I took at last years sculpture walk here in Sydney.
I took these photos years ago when I was living in Islington.
I didn't remember the address when I uploaded these to Flickr, so I found the cemetery by locating where I used to live in Islington, then scrolling the map along the route I used to take to get to the cemetery (I used Google maps cause Yahoo's maps don't zoom down far enough.)
So cool all the red buses chocking up the streets.
This cemetery is in Stoke Newington, and looking at the names of the roads around the cemetery, I reckon this must have had a important building nearby.
The grounds were amazingly overgrown, and it looked like some recent hacking to clear out path had occurred.
It was like discovering a lost city, in the middle of .
It's too bad that Vox doesn’t let us embed things like Google maps, but here is the links, and if you visit Flickr (now that I know the location) I've Geotagged the photos.
I live in a city which is blessed with great natural beauty.
Which can be a curse, cause very little effort is directed towards architecture or public sculpture.
I know, I know, what about the Opera House.
If you do a bit of research on its history, you’ll discover what a glorious accident it was.
Any who, each year there is a free sculpture walk along the beaches and cliffs.
I’ve attached some photos of this year’s effort.
