It looks more like the Nullabor somewhere to me, just going by the rocks.

 Gayle, not Nullarbor, but your guess is a lot closer than Sheba.

 Yay for yobarr. Thought everyone was having a two day nap.

Excellent sand dune drive to get there. Left the van at Hamlyn bay. This day, we celebrated visiting all four extremities of our wonderful continent

 

Where now yobarr?

The sculptures are in Inverell, so Dunmowin has it. I will have to do some research on the meaning of the sculptures, so can't answer your question Radar. Cheers.

 The colours represent the sapphires found around Inverell.

Just been naving a read about the Inverell Sculpture. 

2016 Craig Flood was commissioned for this art work on the Henderson Street roundabout. 

I also did a bit of search, 2 drive thoughs, 4 stays at the showground since 2018, no wonder they were familiar, near the info centre, post office, chemist and the bakery.

Very interesting.

Yes Cuppa, it is Rottnest Island. We went there for the second time at the end of our Indian Pacific xing of Aust earlier this year

Your turn again

Thanks Dunmowin, I suspect Bill may have known, but provided the clue which helped me. 

 

Where would you find this distinctive shoreline

No attempts. Perhaps time for a clue.
This coastline is not mainland Australia.

I understand the logic Bob, but no, this island is probably about as far away in Australia as it is possible to get from Thursday Island. ;)

Bob is is on the right island & to help matters along ..... it's on the north coast.

It may or may not help to know that there is a cave you can walk to up in those cliffs. A bit steep in places but a path all the way there & beyond.

And the view looking back across the water from near the cave mouth.  The name of this small seaside community is the answer needed. 

 

What is the name of this community?.jpeg
