Sydney

Harbour Bridge, Opera House, beaches and foodie heaven found on most streets, creates a cocktail that offers tourists many reasons to love Sydney. The city is also known for its wide variety of public art, erected in large public parks, main streets, and hidden within the corners of massive buildings. 

 

With well over 200 statues, it is a shock to find only 6% of public statues are female.
