The City of Canada Bay recently installed new Aboriginal cultural heritage signage at Timbrell Park in Five Dock and along the Bay Run.
The signage was placed at prominent locations and displays artwork by Indigenous artist David Cragg. The artworks reflect the natural environment and feature beautiful depictions of native flora and fauna.
“These signs are a recognition of the Indigenous heritage of our area,” City of Canada Bay Deputy Mayor Stephanie Di Pasqua said.
“They are a visible message that we are proud of the long and rich history of the City of Canada Bay.”
The signage also links to a Welcome to Country and smoking ceremony information produced in partnership with the Metropolitan Local Aboriginal Land Council.
The newly installed cultural heritage panels complement signage that was installed along the Bay Run in 2021 which explain the local Indigenous culture, history and ecology of the area.

The signage was proudly funded by the NSW Government in association with the City of Canada Bay.
The City of Canada Bay acknowledges Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, in particular the Wangal Clan, one of the 29 tribes of the Eora nation, as the traditional custodians of the lands where we live, learn and work. Council pays respect to Elders past, present and emerging.
