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.
