A series of bronze plaques have been perched outside a selection of Geelong\u2019s historic sites as part of a new public art project titled Bronze Stories: Geelong Unearthed<\/em>.<\/p>\n

The project \u2013 designed and funded by the City of Greater Geelong \u2013 was launched at the sixth Word for Word National Non-Fiction Festival on Sunday.<\/p>\n

Each plaque pays homage to a defining moment in the city\u2019s history, from Geelong\u2019s maritime and gold rush history to the city\u2019s convict and migrant past.<\/p>\n

Others acknowledge the people who have had a lasting effect on the city, including Dan Dan Nook (of the Wadawurrung nation) and war hero Mary de Garis.<\/p>\n

Cr Trent Sullivan, chair of the city\u2019s arts, culture and heritage portfolio, said the project was a great example of public art being used to educate and entertain.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese plaques will help us recognise our city\u2019s unique and varied history.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey\u2019ll give visitors and members of our community a better understanding of how Geelong developed into the place it is today, through the many amazing stories that have unfolded and been passed down through the generations.\u201d<\/p>\n

Word for Word Festival advisory committee chair Cr Margot Smith said the festival was delighted to include the launch of the Bronze Stories project.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe theme of this year\u2019s festival is Nyaal, a Wadawurrung word that means to \u2018open your eyes\u2019 and these fascinating stories are hugely important pieces of local history that everyone in our community should know about.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is particularly true of the story of Wadawurrung men Dan Dan Nook, Willem Baa Niip and Harry Gore, whose strength and resilience deserve to be known by everyone.\u201d<\/p>\n

Each story can be explored further by downloading the free Geelong Arts and Culture Trails app from the App Store.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
