The City of Sydney has a public sculpture programme that has its own
brochures, curator (Sally Coucaud), sculpture walks, et cetera. Contact her
at Town Hall, 61-2-9265 9333. Sydney's "Open Museum" or "Open Museum" (one
of these names...)  is really firing just now. Adelaide, South Australia
also has a programme.
