Darling Walk, chess set

This giant wood-carved chess set is located in front of the fountain along Darling Walk, which links Harbour Street to Tumbalong Park and the Darling Quarter at Darling Harbour.

  2. Good sized pieces. I was looking at one set up here for the weekend of similar dimensions for a street festival.

  5. That's very cool. Do the pieces move? Do people ever "move them" to their homes?

    1. Yes, they do move and people do play chess with them. I think they might pack them away at night.
