Frankston Sand Sculpting And Bond (A Very Grainy Link)

Last Sunday my wife, our friend Brownie, and I travelled down to Frankston to see the annual sand sculpting display near the beach foreshore.  Frankston is approximately an hours drive from the City and also the beginning of the beautiful Mornington Peninsula.

I'd never been to the sand sculpting before and was pleasantly surprised.  Obviously it's aimed at kids but there's no simple sand castles, sand walls or Dads buried up to their necks here.  The theme was "Story Land" and children's books featured included:

 

Postman Pat...

 

Harry Potter...

Jumanji...

some dragons...

Angelina Ballerina...

Mr Men...

 

Chronicles Of Narnia...

Where The Wild Things Are...

 

Charlie And The Chocolate Factory...

 

and the link to James Bond and this blog, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.
(Technically Roald Dahl is also a link too as he wrote the screenplay for "You Only Live Twice" !).

Here's an indication of the size of the temporary sculptures.

Finally, after our visit we decided to take a stroll along the beach boardwalk to Oliver's Hill.

And as an added bonus, the white pointers were out too !
