As this time hits every year, the iconic event Sculptures by the Sea kicks off on the Bondi to Bronte 2km coastal walk. If the view doesn't blow your mind enough, this should sort you out.

There are more than 100 sculptures on display this year, with many merging with the landscape, showing off the curves and beauty of the coastline in an artistic way. The seaside exhibition is in its 18th year and sees 500,000 people attend.

On Friday, the winner of was announced as Peter Lundberg from the United States, who will be awarded $60,000 for his bronze sculpture called ring.

Lundberg had stiff competition. This year's main attraction is a 24-metre oversized frying pan, by artist Andrew Hankin, titled 'We're fryin' out here,' submerged in the sand of Tamarama Beach. Spectators also took a shine to a human counter by Geoffrey Drake-Brockman.
