Asset Type: Mosaic, Public amenity
Year of Work: 2013
Location: There are four installations along the eastern side of Bussell Highway, all located between Churchill Avenue and Higgins Street.
Provenance: Shire of Augusta Margaret River
Description: This sculptural installation represents the movement of water as it flows through the town.
It links the water in the streetscape with the rain garden, which purifies the water before entering the river.
It is encapsulated in textural and colour changes within the paving. Sourcing stone from Boodjidup River, near Margaret River’s first gold mine, see if you can spot it in the footpath.
