About the Project
Council is committed to recognising and respecting the local Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community. As part of this commitment we are developing an Aboriginal Interpretive Signage Walk (Walk) that will flow along the southern side of Lake Illawarra and connect back Yirran Murru – an Aboriginal Interpretive play space located at Shellharbour Civic Centre.
We would like to acknowledge and respect the local Aboriginal community by sharing and celebrating local stories and history in this new Walk.
There are 4 main themes that will be explored in the signage:
- Creation Stories
- Artefacts and technology
- Dharawal Language
- Native Flora and Fauna

Actually I wouldn’t. I think the money would be better spent in improving old playground equipment in the Albion Park area.
