---

The Shearwater sculpture by Inge King along the Southbank Promenade was commissioned by Esso Australia. It was installed in 1995. The sculpture is built in polychrome steel. The sharp lines along the wings of the sculpture capture a sense of movement, like a bird in flight. The bold colours add identity to the sculpture as one of the common shearwater birds in Australia, known as the Short-tailed Shearwater.
