A Day at Sydney Hills International Sand Sculpting Exhibition

Sand. Despite spending many weekends at the beach I can’t stand sand. It has the unbelievable ability to creep into every crevice and it can take days to get it out of my hair despite constant washing. I only just manage to cope with it after a day at the beach thanks to talcum powder …
