I is for I am Really Excited about Sculptures by the Sea!

It is almost that time of year again, like a mecca for Sydney photographers bot amateur and professional alike, Sculptures by the Sea provides three weeks of delight for the eyes as art is installed along the Bondi to Tamarama cliff side walk. This year is sure not to dissapoint as Sculptures by the Sea celebrates its 15th anniversary and will include artwork by Anne Ferguson, Bert Flugelman OAM, Ron Robertson-Swann OAM and Ken Unsworth AM, just to name a few.

Sculptures by the Sea is a 100 percent free event and will be held from 3 to 20 November 2011. Bring your towel and soak up the sun along with your culture and enjoy my personal favourite event in Sydney.

Find out more about the event, the art and the sculptures for this years event at the Sculptures by the Sea website.

Get your Skates On!

Ice Skating is back at Bondi this winter! As part of the Bondi Winter Magic Festival an ice skating rink will be set up on Bondi Beach from 30 June to 17 July. An adult ticket is $26 for 45 minutes of ice skating and skate hire, a pretty small price to pay for a really unique winter activity. Or better yet take the kids to try out the Ice Fun Slide - a first in Australia - with three slides costing only $7.50. Tickets are selling fast for skating and slides so jump onto the Bergstation website to get yours now!

Ice skating is not the only thing happening in Bondi throughout the colder months and the Winter Magic Festival event calendar is packed with great activities like the Ice Ball to raise money for Epilepsy Action Australia on 23 July and the Art on the Streets on 9-10 July where anyone can create their own chalk masterpiece right in Bondi. Details about these and many other events are available on the Bondi Winter Magic Festival website.
