The Sand Guys at the Mount
<p>A group of six US artists, who travel the world creating unique works of sand art, made a sculpture at Mount Maunganui Main Beach, using about 40 tonnes of sand. It measures about 1.8m high by 4.5m wide, and reflects the Western Bay of Plenty and the Matariki festival in June.
