A 6-metre by 7-metre sign depicting a whale tail will signal the southern entrance of the shire near the Timbillica turnoff south of Eden. Drivers arriving at the northern end of the shire at Cobargo will be greeted by a cow, while a kangaroo will be erected on the shire's western boundary on the Brown Mountain.
The recycled timber signs - designed locally by Dirk Signs and made in Melbourne by Sign Express - should be ready for installation in mid-July, subject to RMS approval. It is part of a bigger project that will include individual town signs also being made from the recycled wharf timber.
