|
The Sand Sculpting Australia's Toytopia 2011 - 2012 exhibition is now closed for the season.
Watch this space for details of next years exhibition, which won't disappoint.
After four spectacular seasons of sand sculptures on the Waterfront, Frankston is definitely the home of sand sculpting in Australia. And this summer’s event was one of the biggest and best yet! The exhibition attracted a record-breaking 100,000 visitors. Elaine Chester, the 100,000th visitor walked through the gates on Anzac Day to receive a wonderful prize package.

Visitors to the 'Toytopia' entered a wondrous land where favourite childhood playthings from years gone by mix with those from today. There were spinning tops, a Jack-in-a-box, cuddly teddy bears, tin soldiers, building blocks, race cars, a rocking horse, dolls of every shape and size, and all the other toys that give joy to the young and the young at heart.
Integrated with the sculptures were children’s activities including Sand Sculpting Workshops, Sand Art, Sand Bottles, Sand Diggers and our “NEW” Giant Sand Pit. Plus, on weekends and school holidays, there were Roving Entertainers from Cirque Mystique, Face Painting and, for the first time, Speed Carving will be showcased.
