A New Night-Time Experience for Locals and Travellers

The new lighting brings the sculpture to life in a whole new way:

  • Soft, artistic illumination highlights the sculpture’s shape and craftsmanship
  • Warm, modern lighting tones create an inviting night-time atmosphere
  • Enhanced visibility makes it safer and more enjoyable for those walking or driving past
  • Aesthetic appeal helps promote St George as a proud, forward-thinking regional centre


Whether you’re returning to your room at the Merino Motor Inn or wandering through town, the lit sculpture is now a must-see feature after dark.

The addition of night lighting allows:

  • The community to enjoy the piece around the clock
  • Visitors to appreciate one of the town’s signature landmarks, even if they arrive at night
  • A stronger sense of place for the entrance to the Merino Motor Inn and the wider township


This enhancement adds character, culture, and warmth to St George’s night-time streetscape.

Whether you’re travelling through, staying the night, or exploring town, the newly lit sculpture is a perfect reminder of the creativity and character that make St George special.
