It’s not often that you take a leisurely stroll along the promenade of one of Sydney’s popular surfing beaches and find a Rubik’s cube washed up on the sand.

A little mystery surrounds the sudden appearance of this retro object d’art. Rumour has it that the block of concrete was painted overnight by local artists.

Daniel: It’s quite a large structure, probably about 5 feet tall. I’ll have to stand beside it next time and report back!
Very Cool. I used to love the Rubicks Cube as a kid. I could actually do it. My mom showed me how and I amazed all of my friends. Now whenever I try I can almost get it all except for the final few moves, I just can’t remember the pattern to finish it off:(
Dave and Deb: Wow… I wasn’t any good at it. It’s good to see how it’s made a comeback of late!
