We loved collaborating on this fascinating project with Murray River Council recently which celebrates and preserves the region's rich and colourful timber heritage.
Our task was to craft some lovely words for these stunning red gum information panels that frame the new heritage walk through the grounds of the Picnic Point precinct near Mathoura, as well as the content for an accompanying brochure.
The free heritage walk guides visitors through the magical story of the river red gum, the birth of the red gum forests, and the booming timber industry that followed.
Next time you're out Mathoura way, be sure to take this gentle wander back through history to discover the age-old magic of the river red gum story and to meet the extraordinary pioneers who lived within its pages.
🍃🌿 Lee.Picnic Point is now home to a new heritage walk, preserving the story of the local timber industry and celebrating its history.
Murray River Council was awarded $30,000 to deliver the project under the NSW Government’s Heritage Near Me Program, with the final product being delivered in partnership with the community.
Ten information panels and new footpath have been installed at Picnic Point, Mathoura as part of the project along with the production of a Timber Heritage timeline brochure.
