Peace Dove by Peter Ush
Located above the high tide mark on Wamberal Beach is a driftwood sculpture Peace Dove by Peter Ush. Built from local driftwood and cuttlefish, it will not last long, so see it soon before nature reclaims it. Wamberal is located on the New South Wales Central Coast around a 90 minute drive north from the Sydney CBD.
We parked at Spoon Bay Road Reserve, where we were lucky to find a park. On weekend, this is a popular access to the beach and soon becomes difficult to find a park. Alternately, parking is available at the other end of the beach at Wamberal. Walking time along the beach to the sculpture is around 15 minutes from either end.
Easy to find, nestled in the dunes, the dove overlooks the Pacific Ocean, which provides a beautiful backdrop.
A great place to visit in its own right, Wamberal Beach is long and sandy, with no need for people to crowd together. Recent storms have created a lot of driftwood, some of which was washed up here. Many of the pieces were mini-sculptures themselves.
