Officially unveiled yesterday, the wood duck represents the totem of the late Uncle Thomas Kelly, an Aboriginal Gumbaynggirr Elder , a local to whom this honourable legacy is representing.
Re-purposed bridge timber signifies Uncle Tom’s connection to country and symbolises the many bridges he forged within the Bellinger community.
Artists of this sculpture are Nick Warfield, Adrienne Hmelnitsky and Brentyn Lugnan.
