Frankston Sand Sculpture Competition on Easter for Treasure Tuesday

 

















The Frankston Annual Sand Sculpture Competition, once a cherished highlight of my childhood, has long held a special place in the cultural life of Melbourne’s coastal regions. Originating in Frankston, this beloved event drew crowds for years with its grand and intricate creations, becoming a seasonal tradition for many families. Some years ago, however, the competition was relocated from its original site, a change that saddened me deeply at the time. To my delight, the event has returned this year to its rightful home in Frankston. I had the pleasure of accompanying my mother to the shoreline, where we spent a delightful day capturing photographs and revisiting old memories. Though the sculptures are now more modest in scale and number, the return of the competition rekindles a sense of joy and nostalgia.

  5. What wonderful sand sculptures. I don't know how they get sand to hold these delicate shapes. These are highly talented sculptures.

  6. It must be fifteen years since I've seen the sand sculptures and they appear to be much better than back then, although they weren't covered back then either.

  12. These are really fun to see. There's so much detail. Some are kind of scary, but the scariest part is that they won't last forever!

  14. Una belleza de obras de arte mas efímero que los murales, por lo que para quedar en el recuerdo hay fotografiar lo mas rápido posible.
