Mermaids on Australia’s Daydream Island

January 15, 2014 By Mermaids of Earth 2 Comments

Daydream Island is just over half a mile long and about 600 feet wide, on the northeast coast of Australia, close to the Great Barrier Reef.   On the northeast tip of the island you will find 3 mermaids soaking up the sun.

The mermaid statues are named Serenity, Aphrodesia and Infinity, representing respectively mind, body and spirit.   They were created by David Joffee.

Daydream Island Resort and Spa pretty much takes up the entire island.   The resort is split in two – one part on the north end of the island, the other on the south end, with the middle being mountainous rock rising up about 150 feet from sea level.   It is a tropical paradise, with more than a touch of a mermaid theme.

      Hi – no this is an Australian artist, and I think they are done largely in a plastic material. The Norwegian mermaids were done by a well know Norwegian artist, in bronze.
