Home>Visitor Information>Art - A sense of belonging.
Art that truly belongs to its environment and its community finds often has a special meaning.

| The Loddon Valley is full of artistic expression by artists and community members that reflect what is special about this area – its community bonds, its pioneering past and its ingenuity and spirit.
Letterboxes with a difference - Sprinkled across the Shire you will discover sculptural letterboxes which tell of the intuition and talent of the makers. Look out for them as you drive through the Shire.

| Story of a river - “Images of Our Past - Crossing the Loddon” is a tile mural on the River Walk in Bridgewater. The mural tells a visual story of the Loddon River, including the bridges, droughts and floods, and records the historic changes in an interesting way. Over 100 primary school children made tiles for this project, working with local ceramic artist Kerry Punton.
Spanner in the works - In the north of the Shire sculptor John Piccoli creates amazing art structures using spanners, welded together into forms such as horses and bulls. Working with thousands of spanners has earned John the title of ‘the spanner artist’. One of John’s sculptures can be seen at the eastern entry to Boort.

| A chair for all to share - The Kangaroo Chair is a community project supported by the Commonwealth Government of Australia, the Centenary of Federation Program, the Loddon Shire Council and the Communities of Pyramid Hill, Tarnagulla and Wedderburn. The Kangaroo Chair represents the spirit of Federation by bringing together these towns within the Loddon Shire. The Kangaroo is a symbol of our natural Australian environment. The chair itself represents home. The drawings, created by children in each town, celebrate the 100 years of the Commonwealth of Australia, by the local communities. Co-ordinated by Wedderburn Tourism Inc. Artist: Judy Lorraine.
