Sculpture Walk Batemans Bay

Tides by Joel Adler Batemans Bay Sculpture Walk

Sculpture Walk Batemans Bay

Running along the Clyde River foreshore at Batemans Bay, The Sculpture Walk is a great way to take in the city centre of this NSW south coast town.

Getting There

Driving from Sydney will take a little over 3.5 hours, or two hours from Canberra. We were staying locally, so only had a 10-minute drive from our accommodation. We parked at the Clyde Street carpark, which is conveniently located at the start of the walk.

The Walk

Following the waterfront from the Princes Highway Bridge to the marina, the Sculpture Walk takes in 14 sculptures (the number grows each year) as well as passing street art and memorials. Sculptures are added each time the Sculptures For Clyde festival is held, as the winning sculpture is acquired and permanently displayed in Batemans Bay.

The walk is flat and paved most of the way with many places to stop, rest and take in the scenery. Coffee shops and restaurants on the waterfront also provide plenty of options for eating.

The Clyde River

The walk takes you along the Clyde River, where you see several cruise boats waiting to take tourists up the river. There are also some fishing boats as well as restaurants that sell their catch. Many waterbirds also make the riverbank their home and we saw a lot of pelicans resting on the bank and jetties.

Memorials

Walking along the sculpture walk, two memorials stand out. The first is Batemans Bay War Memorial Cenotaph while the second, dedicated to the Vietnam War is in the park near the marina.

Street Art

Street art can be found in several locations on the walk. The first and most obvious is on the Boatshed seafood restaurant. This has both ends of the building decorated with paintings of the area’s culture and history.

The second area if found in Graffiti Alley, which runs between Orient St and Murra Murra Mia Walkway. Here, you will find fantastic paintings of local wildlife.

Mill Bay Boardwalk Australia

Mill Bay Boardwalk Australia

Running along the northern side of the Wagonga Inlet, the Mill Bay Boardwalk is the perfect way to appreciate Narooma. Narooma itself is located on the New South Wales south coast, around a three-hour drive from Canberra, Australia.

Getting There

Access is very easy, with a large carpark nearby. Accessible to wheelchairs, the boardwalk is flat and runs for 350m around the bay.

The Boardwalk

While walking along the boardwalk, keep a lookout for wildlife. We were lucky enough to see an Australasian Darter eating a fish it had caught. Resting on a rock not far away, a pelican was sunning itself and drying its wings.

At several places, the pathway has been widened and bench seats installed so that people can fish. This is great, because it allows room to fish, while people can walk through on the boardwalk without getting tangles in fishing lines.

This was a nice little walk with great views over the water. Worth having a look at if you are in the area.

Soldiers Point Marina Australia

Sunset Beach Soldiers Point Marina

Soldiers Point Marina

Located and hour’s drive north-east of Newcastle, New South Wales, the Soldiers Point Marina is a popular tourist destination. Not only does it have excellent boat launching facilities, but has a modern marina, beach and restaurant.

We took a walk along Sunset Beach and enjoyed the views, we loved the boats and yachts moored in the water and on the beach. The marina has tables near the beach, where you are able to enjoy a rest while taking in the views. If you feel like exercising your brain, each table has a chess board and sets are available from the nearby cafe.

The marina has also installed a number of sculptures around the cafe and boats. All are located close together and easy to find with a slow walk around the moored boats.

Overall a great morning out, with a coffee, relaxing walk on the beach and some sculptures.
