SAND SCULPTURES

​created by local legend Sandy Chambers a wondrous tableau can be found at the town swimming pool. The sand is of a particular composition and Sandy compacts it into drums then carves the characters from the resultant block of sand. Until they are sealed, water will return the work  to mud.   Sandy has a quirky sense of humour and the one at the swimming pool called ‘Noah’s Lark’ challenges you to find anomalies.
Sandy has also installed a sand sculptures of Elvis Presley and Johnny Cash at Harvey Dickson’s Country Music Centre

​The GNOMON

A gnomon is the triangular part of a sun dial which throws the shadow on the face of the dial to tell the time.   Boyup Brooks gnomon is in the Abel Street median strip.    Inside the frame of the gnomon is the emblem of the Shire of Boyup Brook in wrought iron. The face of the dial is polished concrete and an approximate time can be read with its accuracy depending on the month of the year.
The concept was that of Sandy Chambers and the wrought iron work constructed by Dave Beck.
