A Tribute to Timber

After an exhaustive selection process, The Long Paddock Committee has selected a number of potential sculptures for the Tribute to Timber project. The committee invites you to leave your comments on the sculptures below. A final design for each sculpture will be made in January 2012.

 Moama  – Kerrebee Sound Shell. The Barge reflects the use of barges to move timber down the river to Moama and Echuca. It also reflects the local ship building industry along the ports.  The Barge will be approx 2 meters high by 3 meters long.
