Soldiers Point Marina Australia
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.

Fish Traps Rozelle Sydney
Fish Traps Rozelle Sydney

Located on the banks of the Parramatta River in Rozelle, Sydney Australia, the Fish Traps sculpture represents the deep spiritual and cultural significance of fishing to the local Gadigal and Wangal clans. It forms part of of the Wayfinding Project, which uses visual artworks to show ongoing presence of Aboriginal Peoples within Sydney’s Inner-West. They represent features and histories of Gadigal Wangal Lands.

Other wayfinding works are in the Camperdown Memorial Rest Park, Steel Park, 531-565 Illawarra Road, Marrickville and Hawthorne Reserve, Darley Road, Leichhardt.

We used the 500X bus which dropped us off only a 10-minute walk away from the sculpture. It’s a easy walk along the banks of the Parramatta, with great views. From here we walked along the shore to the old power station pump house, again an easy 10-minute walk.

Rabbitwoman and Dogman George Street
Rabbitwoman and Dogman on a Vespa George Street

Currently located at 264 George Street Sydney (September 2023), this Gillie and Marc bronze sculpture of Rabbitwoman and Dogman is titled “Together they were a golden couple”. The artists description on the statue is “Rabbitwoman takes the lead on the bike while Dogman gets cosy in the sidecar next to her, trusting her to take him somewhere incredible”.

Gillie and Marc are known for their inclusion of Rabbitwoman, Dogman, coffee cups and the Vespa. This bronze has all of them in one place.

We found the statue on a quiet Sunday morning while walking down George St in Sydney. As with many things, it’s often the unexpected that makes your day. So, if you’re walking through Sydney, drop in to say hi to Rabbitwoman and Dogman on George St. And if you are interested in where they got their coffee, there is a small café behind them.
