Docklands says farewell to summer

Docklands says farewell to summer

February is finished and Docklands has officially waved goodbye to summer.

A variety of events have been held in Docklands over the past month to celebrate and farewell summer.

Five Docklands-themed sand sculptures were created on Harbour Esplanade and attracted plenty of curious onlookers.

The sculptures included the new library being constructed in Victoria Harbour, a tram, a boat, a Cirque du Soleil inspired sculpture and Harbour Town shopping bags.

The 20 tonnes of sand used to create the sculptures was then put to good use on February 23 with a treasure hunt.

Destination Docklands CEO Anita Donnelly said about 1000 people turned up to dig through the sand for the buried treasure, which came in the form of vouchers and offers from local retailers.
