A festival in Bermagui honors Djiringanj elder William Campbell with a cultural installation by his grandsons, promoting Indigenous heritage and a name change to Campbell’s Point.

Sculpture Bermagui’s 20th anniversary festival, March 7–15, features a record 305 artworks, including 81 major sculptures across the headland and Dickinson Park. A centerpiece is a cultural installation recreating the traditional camp of Djiringanj elder William Campbell, built by his grandsons Gary and Paul Campbell. The display includes a humpy, canoe, fishing tools, and a fireplace, honoring his sustainable lifestyle and connection to the land. The brothers aim to share Aboriginal heritage, promote awareness of Indigenous history, and advocate for the area’s name to revert to Campbell’s Point. The free, community-run event showcases art, culture, and stories from the Yuin Nation across multiple venues on the Sapphire Coast.
