SWELL Sculpture Festival at Currumbin

Saturday morning we drove to Currumbin Beach for our walk - 2 reasons - we love it there, and because they were hosting the Sculpture Festival - SWELL. The day was a little hazy, but the temperature was great and we just loved our "artistic" walk.

Looking across to the Surf Club and Elephant Rock where the very moving ANZAC Memorial Service is held annually on 25th April at 5am..

The first (backdropped by the Surf Club) was a myriad of little ornate fish, with a real human kid in pink who was not going to leave this sculpture.

There were 55 sculptures in total

Built by Australian Artists

and some from abroad

They were made of many different materials
and quite incredible designs The Festival was totally free Parking et all
An interesting mob above
Some were in the sand dunes
And the finale for this year
Backdropped by the beach and it's "lifesavers"
This Festival ran for 10 days - finishing yesterday. Next year we will attend it at the beginning of the Festival, and take on their guided Twilight Walk - that would be magic with the sunset!.
