New initiatives provide tourism and cultural benefits
The Bland Shire has two new tourism and cultural attractions following the official opening of the Yindyamarra Aboriginal Open Display and Mirri Ngurang Dog Park during NAIDOC Week.
The Yindyamarra display was developed by Bland Shire Council in conjunction with the West Wyalong Local Aboriginal Land Council utilising a $100,000 Stronger Country Communities grant from the NSW Government. Additional funding support was provided by the NSW Country Arts Support Program – Create NSW.
The stunning collection stands permanently at The Wetlands and features a number of significant indigenous artefacts and symbols which were all painted by local artists.
