The 'Who Left The Tap On' installation looks as though this massive sculpture was responsible for the huge body of water it sites beside. The sculpture instills a childlike wonderment in people of all ages, letting their imaginations run away with them.
Created by Simon McGrath, the Who Left The Tap On installation is part of Australia's Sculpture by the Sea art exhibit, which was founded by David Handley, and is held along the coastal walk from Bondi to Tamarama Beach. Definitely one of the more impressive designs, this mind-bogglingly immense faucet provides a playful object for fun and quirky photo-ops.
Don't be fooled by this stunning sculpture, as it was made simply for art sake and is not fully functional.
