Cycling and sculptures

In which we combine lunch for two birthdays, getting some exercise and finding our sculpture for the garden.

We met our friends P & D down near the boatshed on the river at The Rocks (South West Rocks).
Unfortunately the rather pleasant cafe down there has closed. Don't know why.
But we pedalled out along the breakwater -



 where we could see our destination at the other end of the bay -


It's such a great view from the park in South West Rocks.
Some hardy souls were enjoying the water!


We had lunch at the lovely kiosk at Trial Bay which is perched on the hill overlooking the campground with a glimpse of the bay.
"Kiosk" doesn't really do it justice! It is a very comfortable restaurant.
It is highly recommended if you are ever in the area.

The nearby old gaol is a superb setting for sculptures.



As I said we have been looking for "something" for the front of the house, something sculptural, something unique, hopefully something handcrafted.
Would we find it here?












Aha! You'll have to wait and see!

There are also works by the local schools, which were set in some of the cells.



This was my favorite and got my vote -


These pieces were inspired by the inventions of Leonardo Da Vinci.
Love them!
