This photo shows the flags flying from the footbridge bridge over the Macleay River at Stuarts Point. The bridge is popular with locals and tourists as a fishing or look out place. The bridge is used to access the beach and ocean. The flags were made form donated and new fabric were painted, dyed, embelished using applique techniques and hand stitching.Makers used local symbols like birds, waves, fish, flowers the sun and figures to decorate their flags that reflected a deep connection to place. Artists encourage psrtoicipants to find their own symbols that represent their connection to the area. After erecting the flags people lingered on the bridge to enjoy the atmosphere created by the flags and to talk with each other. As the river is tidal, sand banks form allowing safe access to the river for all ages.This is the third footbridge bridge in this place. Previous Portrait of Captail Cook Next
