The signage – made from timber recycled from Tathra Wharf after the East Coast Low event – has been developed to reflect the variety of elements that make the shire a special place.

Each will acknowledge the people of the Yuin and Monaro Nations, their culture and position as traditional custodians of the land and waters of the shire, through the use of the local Aboriginal word for welcome, Njindjiwaan.
The installations began Tuesday, July 24, at the Timbillica turnoff (south of Eden) where the sign there will depict a whale tail.
The installation is expected to take a week to complete, with traffic control in place meaning motorists can expect minor delays.
The whale tail stands seven metres from ground to tip, with the attached sign six metres wide.
The two other designs comprise a cow scene for Cobargo, and kangaroo for Brown Mountain/Bemboka.
