Ok. First things first - because I am in some slow-motion-timing this sand sculpture event has
ended for the year 2015. But fear not, I heard this thing is an annual event so there will always be next year.
My initial perception before seeing it was it would be a much bigger event but it was actually quite smallish. Entrance fee was
$13.50 per person. I took a train to Frankston and walked to the event site, meeting sis, BIL and little niece there. They met with a friend for brunch and I was being anti-social.

It wasn't a long walk from the Frankston train station and the weather was perfect with white clouds dotting the ever blue sky.
It wasn't a long walk but I have no idea how to get there without google maps. I have not been to this suburb before but I noticed a family who looked like they were heading to the beach so I ended up following them. Hehe :)
The sand sculptures were not on the beach though but at a closed off area nearby. I reached before sis and co, so I lingered a little at the front waiting for them. Plus I was starving and texted sis to grab me some food :P
It was a Monday past Easter Sunday on our day of visit and there was an egg hunt activity too. Basically the sand sculptors had sculpted some eggs and we are to count them. Even if you got the count wrong, you still get a chocolate egg, or two. Lol. Anyway, here goes...

Little niece was actually more interested in playing with the sand than looking at any of the sculptures. And yes, this is a lazy post - more pictures than words.
Side note: Time to roll on the bed again!

Hi Sam, thank you for your comment. As you can see I am not very regular in blogging/posting, so it is probably not a good time. Good luck in your site though! :)
