The aim is to make it a significant tourist attraction and educational centre, welcoming all Australians and international visitors.
You can learn more about the project, and how you can get involved, on the group’s Facebook page or by contacting Christine Chirgwin on 0467 544 724.

The brolga sculpture at Coleambally is impressive both in size and craftsmanship!
Located around town, you can discover a range of native animals crafted from iron, which have oxidised to a rich rusty patina.
If you know where to look you’ll spot all kinds of creatures - from birds to echidnas and even a goanna.
Coleambally is located in the heart of the Murrumbidgee Council area, on the Kidman Way between Darlington Point and Jerilderie.
The brolga sculpture at Coleambally is a crowd pleaser.
