The iconic Dumbleyung Bluebird entry sign is on the move! 🚜
Why Move the Sign?
With Dumbleyung unveiling a brand-new entry statement sign, the beloved Bluebird sign will still have a home in our town — and what better place than by the lake itself? 🌊
The relocation will bring the Bluebird closer to where the legend unfolded. By positioning the sign near Lake Dumbleyung, visitors will be greeted with a stronger sense of our historical and tourism significance, creating a gateway that celebrates local identity and honours Donald Campbell’s daring world water speed record achieved right here in 1964.
What’s Happening and When:
The safe transport and reinstallation of the Bluebird entry sign, ensuring it remains structurally sound while gaining a fresh new setting.
• ✅ Planning and design: Completed in Dec 2025, including site assessments and digital mock-ups.
• 🛠️ Fabrication and installation: Custom leg extensions and supports are being prepared over summer.
• 📍 Relocation: The Bluebird sign to be securely installed at its new home on Kersley Drive by July 2026.
