Kerry Saxby-Junna returned to her old home of Ballina on Friday for the unveiling of a new tribute and tourist attraction in her honour.
An enthusiastic crowd of friends, family and supporters were there for the unveiling by Mayor David Wright of the new interpretive signage display, beside the Richmond River, near the Ballina War Memorial Pool.
The new aluminium display is over two metres high and details Ms Saxby-Junna’s extraordinary athletic achievements, which include 32 world records, three Olympics and 27 national titles.
