each year during september, the swell sculpture festival is held along the oceanway at currumbin between currumbin creek and elephant rock. elephant rock becomes a pedestal for a signature artwork. other artwork is spread out along the oceanway pavements and upon the beach and dune areas. artwork from the festival often finds its way onto display on public and private spaces across the gold coast region including a horse in the park at broadbeach, fish along the foreshore at harley park, pelicans along the bank of currumbin creek, a seal mother and pup along the oceanway at miami, a ship up on point danger and a metal goddess within a subdivision at reedy creek.
