Dunedoo is Aboriginal for Black Swan so it was fitting that the main sculpture in this park be that of a black swan. An article in the newspaper Daily Liberal published 2 November 2009 stated (visit link) :

Created by Coolah metal sculptor David Sherlock, the black swan is the centrepiece of Dunedoo’s ‘Sculptures in the Park’ project, which was opened on Friday.

The project, which also features supplementary sculptures of local birdlife created by design and technology students of Dunedoo Central School, was commissioned by the garden group with the assistance of a grant from the Regional Arts Fund (NSW).

The public art project features sculptures of birds native to the Dunedoo region, fabricated from recycled metal and farm machinery parts.
