Community arts project completed at Wagstaffe

A community arts project has been completed at Wagstaffe with three carved poles are now standing in a freshly landscaped garden beside the water at Wagstaffe Wharf.

"It was a long, slow but richly rewarding process and we all learned about the technique of carving, a lot about our own creativity and work ethic but most of all how we worked so well as a community group," said carving group member Mr Terry Baker.

"The carving group is looking forward to having an official unveiling of the poles and a big celebration of our achievement on September 15.

"Hopefully many others from the local area and visitors will join us for this occasion," he said.

The project began a year ago after a long-term local resident of Wagstaffe suggested that local people could create some artistic poles to greet visitors arriving by water.

The project was sponsored by the Wagstaffe-Killcare Community Association and poles were supplied by Ausgrid.
