I always have an impression of Australia as vibrant, unrestrained, and free—its endless beaches and colorful coral reefs make it hard not to feel cheerful while living there. Especially in Sydney, Australia’s most famous Bondi Beach is just seven kilometers away from the bustling Sydney business district. With its blue-green ocean and vibrant, colorful swimsuit-clad beachgoers, it’s the most beautiful vision of the Southern Hemisphere’s warm sun on a cold day.

Besides the beautiful sandy beach views, Bondi hosts a large-scale coastal art installation event every year, covering the coastline from Bondi to Tamarama, spanning three small bays in total. The stunning coast itself serves as the exhibition venue, with sculptural artworks scattered along the approximately two-kilometer coastal walkway. The mountain and sea scenery paired with land art results in some pieces that blend perfectly with the background, while others create amusingly contrasting effects—making this outdoor, open-air, largest free public exhibition incredibly appealing.
