A sign of culture

By Lachlan Ellis

Eye-catching indigenous artwork has been established at Lal Lal Reservoir, as part of a new focus to commission Traditional Owner artwork at some of the state’s water catchments.

Wadawurrung man Billy-Jay O’Toole is the artist responsible for the vibrant new signage at Lal Lal, and said it represents the land and the Lal Lal Falls, which lies on Wadawurrung Country and is culturally significant to the Wadawurrung People and the Peoples of the Kulin Nation.
