Sculpture by the Sea 2014

My only quibble with the amazing Sculpture by the Sea 2014 in Cottesloe was all the nasty little black signs saying DO NOT TOUCH THIS SCULPTURE...

When obviously most of the sculptures are begging you to touch them, climb on them, walk through them, and possibly bounce on them...

I let Tom climb on this one...

Down South

It was a long weekend in Australia. 

Something I particularly like about living here is the amount of public holidays - 10 per year (yay!) as opposed to just 7 per year in the UK (boooo!) 

Don't want to rub this in even more my little British friends, but one of our extra public holidays is the Queen's Birthday. 

Don't ask me why she gives Australia a day off but not the British...

Also we get not only Australia Day but also Western Australia Day!

Oh, and the one just gone was Labour Day which basically rewards hard work :)

Did I also mention that it was a long weekend in which the sun shone all day, every day?

Sorry. Moving on..

We went camping and happened upon Dunsborough Arts Festival and these rather lovely sculptures.
