Waaraday 1 Sculpture Image by Olivia Parker

This timber and metal sculpture honours the Wood Duck, the significance of the area to First Peoples and the life of Uncle Thomas Kelly, an elder and local resident whose totem was Warraday.

Situated near Cemetary Road along the bike/walking track between Urunga town centre and Hungry Head, the repurposed bridge timber reeds supporting the bird represents his connection to country and symbolises the bridges he forged in the community.

Urunga Landcare commissioned the sculpture by local artists Nick Warfield, Adrienne Hmelnitsky and Brentyn Lugnan and was funded through Bellingen Shire Council’s Environmental Levy Community Fund.
