Here's my entry in the Amateur level.
You can check out their history and meaning on the link, and why they have black eyes. There's other photos to view if interested too.

Beautiful shot! I was swimming there this summer, so packed! =) Thanks for sharing the interesting story of these guys.
Thank you @itchyfeetdonica. We were there in winter so there was barely a sole around... it seems for photos this is a good time of year as someone else was saying that to me they have never seen Brighton Beach so quiet that it was packed when they were there.
Happy to share their story... I love their history and that they were recycled and re-purposed in such an amazing way. Thanks again : )
I still remember your description of Brighton Beach. :D You are right winter is a good time of year to shoot those popular beaches! Just I only had holiday during the hottest summer(New Year time). :)
Oh yes, it was you who said about Brighton... :D
Yeah same deal, we were only down for winter as we had been to Thredbo for the snow prior to heading down to VIC. I wonder what it's like Autumn/Spring times?
This whole series of these are so hilarious. I want to go see these. Especially the ones that you didn't post.
Thank you!! : )
Yes I'd like to get back there too... do the whole walk and see them all. We only saw maybe half. When we planned the trip I knew they were there and we wanted to see them but I didn't realise how long the walk was and how much time it would take up. The entire walk takes about 2 hours but if you're us and like to stop, take photos ; ) and appreciate your surrounds more, you're going to need a lot more time! :D There's lots to see and do along the trail!
