Sixty hand-polished concrete hearts have been installed at Marks Park, between Bondi and Tamarama beaches in Sydney, as part of Sculptures By The Sea. Each heart represents a woman killed by violence this year. Each is inscribed with phrases that can excuse, minimise or ignore violence, such as Asked for it and Boys will be boys. The work was created by Philippa Lysaght and Omi McCurdie. Lysaght said the aim is to encourage people to speak up when they hear such phrases.
Ronan Keating and his wife Storm have lodged development application plans with council for a new three-storey home to replace their Tamarama beach cottage. The five-bedroom property was bought under Storm's name for $6.3 million, and is understood to be an investment. The architectural plans say the existing building is structurally unsound. In Double Bay, the late Ervin Vidor's widow Charlotte Vidor has listed their penthouse with a price guide of $21 million. A former governor's Snowy Mountains home is also on the market with a $950,000 price guide.
Australia's largest free outdoor sculpture exhibition is back on Sydney's 2km Bondi to Tamarama coastal walk. Artists from around the world are showing their work. The exhibition runs until 2 November.
