Bringing art out of a gallery allows more people to enjoy these art works and makes it more accessible to the general public. The walk from Bondi Beach is so gorgeous with the sun, sea and the natural rock formations that are themselves a sight to behold. Plus after viewing the exhibition, you can head for a dip at the beach or pop into one of many cafes for a bite or a scoop of gelato like I did!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you&#8217;re in Sydney during the end of October to early November, make sure you pay a visit to the outdoor sculpture exhibit, Sculpture by the Sea.
