The Drifted Creations come from the mind of Alex Witcombe a local artist who was inspired by his surroundings and began to construct elaborate creations out of the driftwood that covers our beaches. Many of his creations were donated as public art and are located throughout our region. With new sculptures popping up throughout the years finding them all has become a scavenger hunt for locals and visitors alike. Meet the creations below and start planning your hunt strategy.
1) Sarah the Hererrasaurus (Formerly Raptor)
In 2020 Sarah was damaged, but thanks to the community’s crowdfunding efforts, Alex was able to give her a makeover to a Herrerasaurus and restore to her rightful place. Sarah is a little elusive crouching in the bushes on the south end of the Rotary Seawalk. Find her to bring Jurassic Park to life!
