A vibrant, new public art piece alongside Bay Road!

Published 4th July 2023
Installation of a 36 metre long mosaic alongside Bay Road is now complete, depicting Ramindjeri and Ngarrindjeri connection to the Inman River.

What was once a plain, grey balustrade has now been beautified with a stunning public art piece by artists Mike Tye and Cedric Varcoe.

The permanent installation has been created over several years with the help of passionate, hard-working local volunteers. Volunteers attended weekly workshops (offering thousands of hours of work) to assist with the delicate tasks of tile cutting and tile placement.

The 36 metre long mosaic was installed in late June 2023 by Matt Turley, covering the entire length of a balustrade between Bay Road and the Inman River.

It now stands as a visual representation of the Ramindjeri and Ngarrindjeri connection to the Inman River (Muwerang).

As well as acknowledging our Traditional Owners, the mosaic demonstrates what can be achieved when our community works together.

The City of Victor Harbor would also like to acknowledge and remember Kerry Pomery, our colleague and friend, who contributed significantly to this project during her time working for the Council.
