There are new works coming soon to the walk between Bondi and Tamarama, writes David Whitley.
SCULPTURE BY THE SEA
What started as a one-day exhibition in 1997 has morphed into one of Australia's greatest cultural treasures. 
And the true joy of it is that sizeable percentages of people enjoying Sculpture By The Sea have stumbled upon it by accident. The Bondi to Coogee clifftop walk is a justifiably popular tourist staple - it needs no extra beautifying to be a splendid way to spend a few hours.
Or, indeed, a full day. It's part of what makes Sydney such an exceptional and prodigiously naturally blessed city.
While those who come specifically to see Sculpture By The Sea invariably thoroughly enjoy it, the true genius of the concept is that it brings art to those who would never actively seek it otherwise.
Putting scores of sculptures along the rocks hits a nerve that no exhibition in an art gallery could manage. It sparks inquisitiveness in people - especially children - who would usually think, "Nah, not for me", when presented with the idea of going to see sculptures.
The project's expansion - first to three weeks in   October and   November at Bondi, then to Perth's Cottesloe Beach in   March and now to Aarhus, Denmark in   June - is heartening.
A brilliant Australian-born idea has gone to the west coast and then internationally. A quick look at the map on the Sculpture By The Sea site shows that the international aspect also applies to the artists contributing as well - works are coming from as far afield as Brazil, Slovakia and Kiribati.
And the variety of installations on offer shows curatorial open-mindedness.
What's on display varies from year to year, but in 2014 it lurched from traditional chiselled stone to sprawls made from lipstick and fake signs boasting wine-tasting terminology.
Similar eclecticism can be expected between   October 22 and   November 8.
