Darling Harbour, sculpture

This contemporary sculpture sits high above the end of a footbridge that links Darling Harbour to the central business district at the intersection of King Street and Sussex Street.

  1. It actually looks like a life-size version of the star that goes atop my mothers Christmas tree!

  10. fredamans, the first time I saw it, I actually thought it was supposed to be a Christmas decoration.

    Kay L. Davies, yes that would be quite a challenge.

  11. This is quite a phenomenal piece of sculpture, and I think it looks like the star on the top of my Christmas tree.The gold against the blue sky is lovely. I love architectural shots, so this one of yours is especially appealing. Sometimes I think I should have been an architect instead of a school teacher!

  18. Ann, it's been there for at least a couple of years. The first time I noticed it, it was a summer after Christmas and thought it was a deco. Then I noticed it was there throughout the whole year, so it had to be a public sculpture. I looked around for a plaque and I've tried to google it but unfortunately I can't find any info about it.

  19. Reminds me of the three wisemen. Where's Balthazar and the Frankincense when you need them?
