Sculpture by the Sea 2012

Every year in Sydney, there is this exhibit called 'Sculpture by the Sea'. It's basically a bunch of different sculptures placed along the beach. I went and tried to get a picture of every single one. The quality isn't great but I'm proud to say I only missed one, a drain. Which apparently, wasn't too exciting.
Note: I labeled about half of them but it's taken almost a week (it's tedious work) so I'll post it now and label the rest whenever I have time.
