There are murals painted all along the walkway at the south end on Bondi.

Don't you hate those fucking gangbangers and their fucking spray painting Vince? I think they should be shot!

Better example of the murals.

Some of that graffiti is quite good. Most of it is left alone so that prevents others from putting offensive stuff up.

Yes, some of it is nice. Still illegal though. Some punks painted the side of my gym two months ago

Sorry for the hijack Vince, I like your thread.

Very cool pics, man. Thanks for sharing.

Now up to Surfers Paradise on the Gold Coast in Queensland. It takes about 12 hours to drive up there from Sydney. It is on the same lattitude as Miami in Florida. Lot of tourists go there. I was a bit disappointed with Surfers. More hype than reality. School kids go there by the thousands in December at the end of their high school.

Now something for our very own True Adonis!

I love sculpture. This is a replica of the original David right there in Surfers Paradise. The most impressive thing in that city. It is about 13 feet high.

Good detail in the muscles. Well done Michaelangelo.

Another view to inspire Adonis!

Some back detail.

This sculpture proves you don't have to be huge to look impressive.

Vince B · « **Reply #163 on:** January 01, 2007, 05:22:25 PM »

Look at how the sculptor got the veins in marble. A magnificent work.

Hand detail.

Vince, you need to come to NYC....nothing else counts

Vince B · « **Reply #167 on:** January 01, 2007, 05:28:06 PM »

There are cafes all around this sculpture so people can sit here and enjoy the work.

Yes, I need to visit the art galleries in America. The Getty in LA and the Guggenheim in New York. Then off to the Louvre in Paris, then Rome, and finally Athens!

I chose to live in a country where there are lots of palm trees.

Broadbeach is next to Surfers Paradise. Lots of nice places to shop up here.

Hey, I should be working for the tourist department! I will see what I can find in the archives for you guys that are in the middle of winter. The nice thing about Sydney is that flowers bloom every month of the year here. I won't bore you with my flower photos!

Vince B · « **Reply #173 on:** January 01, 2007, 05:49:43 PM »

Here you go. What I do for the hapless getbiggers.

More art this time. Byron Bay, of course.
