In February 2022, we had the honour of successfully winning a tender and bringing together three amazing mural artists to collaborate on an epic public art job for Transport for NSW, John Holland and the community of Eurobodalla Shire on the new Batemans Bay Bridge crossing the Bhundoo River/Clyde River.
The Bhundoo River (Clyde River), traditionally occupied by the Walbunja people from the Yuin nation, has long been a giving and collective place of stories still to this day.
We thought no better way than to pay our respects to the community, river and elders of this land past, present and future through this artwork titled ‘The Giving River’ by mural artists David Cragg, Kim Siew and Nico.
The artists pulled out all strings with extensive research, consulting with the community, collaborating on a design and eventually painting it, with the help of some amazing assistants, over 10 days on two large surfaces which face each other under the new Batemans Bay Bridge.
