ROCKPOOL GIN SERIES
500 CRAFTED FOR EACH EXPRESSION
THE INSPIRATION
In Manly's Cabbage Tree Bay, you'll find the Fairy Bower Pool, a charming gem among Sydney's ocean pools. It's one of the smallest, forming a quaint triangle that starts ankle-deep and gradually reaches a depth of 1.5 meters. In 2016, the pool faced destruction from a storm, but its beloved ceramic sculptures, the Oceanides or Sea Nymphs, crafted by Helen Leete, were lovingly recreated in bronze. Thanks to the dedication of locals and art enthusiasts, who raised $57,000, these iconic sculptures were restored and returned to their rightful place after 15 months.
