Fish ribbon with photoimages, installed proud or flush with concrete weir. Conditions on & around the Parramatta River were particularly demanding with ever changing installation conditions.


The very best 100 year old hardwood was used, free of knots, splits or cracks. Faces were hand sanded, special jigs were made to ensure the engraving of the interpretive text was precisely positioned.
