U Turn Round, Wudinna District Council

Another one of our popular U Turn Rounds has found its way over to Australia for the Wudinna District Council, sharing informative audio about the famous ‘Australian Farmer’ sculpture – designed by Marijan Bekic and his son and unveiled by the Council back in 2009. It has since become one of the county’s most popular attractions.

Interpretation specialists Armsign were comissioned by the Council to produce a self-powered outdoor audio unit for the Australian Farmer site, to help share with the public audio information about the sculpture itself. Having worked with the U-Turn before for a project with The City of Prospect Council, they came straight to us. The U-Turn shares eight different messages, each talking about different aspects of the sculpture’s creation. Through this, members of the public can learn more about the famous sculpture and its origins.

We supplied a standard U-Turn Round for Armsign to use in this project, which they then decorated with a custom paint job using their special Full Colour Polycure Paint. The final result is an informative and useful post that educates in a fun and clever manner. It was installed just in time for the town’s centenary celebrations and has been receiving great feedback from the public.
