Public Art

Commissioned by Council through the Parramatta Road Urban Amenity Improvement Program (PRUAIP) this collection of Public Art connects with Dharug Cultural Heritage, the local character and architecture of Auburn North and the local Cumberland community.

Public Art Displays

View a series of five public artworks called Future Message (in development), Show and Tell (in development), Badu Bayumi, Embrace Monuments and Baduwa.

You can walk or ride the trail along Macquarie Road near Auburn Park heading towards Parramatta Road and then over to the M4 pedestrian cycleway bridge on Melton St South.

Show and Tell

Paths often appear in children’s stories, and folklore. Paths help to navigate the often uncertain process of crossing over to another place, culture, or community.
