* The Murra Murra Mia walkway means place or plenty of fish.
* The grassed area where ‘Buoyansea’ is positioned is called Mena’s Point. The Walbanga people still see her spirit there today, as Mena loved to fish from this point – perfect positioning for the beginning of the Batemans Bay Sculpture Walk.
Sculpture for Clyde
Outdoor / Indoor / Student Exhibitions, Batemans Bay Foreshore
The Sculpture for Clyde event is an anual 9 day festival on the Batemans Bay Foreshore, which commenced in 2017. The event sources sculptures for the nearby Batemans Bay Sculpture Walk.
Rich in history, the expansive waterway at the mouth of the Clyde River was named by Lieutenant James Cook on his voyage of discovery along this coast in 1770. However, it wasn’t until well into the 19th century that the township of Batemans Bay appeared. The Bay is now renowned for its spectacular estuary location, hospitality and charm, and unspoiled natural environment. The Clyde River with its notable distinction of being the cleanest river in the southern hemisphere, due to its pristine catchment, is home to a thriving oyster business.
Many significant and talented artists have chosen to reside on the South Coast, (the number far exceeding the national average), so a sculpture event is ideal for both people and place.
