Being right on the corner of the intersection of Isabella, and Bents Streets, where there is a set of stairs that lead up into Central Park, this scene on the concrete retaining wall is split into two parts.
The left-hand section (facing Isabella Street) features more of the Manning River, including a smaller fig tree, with a few other trees, all in irregular ceramic pieces, embedded in concrete/grout. It is edged on the right side by the stairs up to Central Park.
The right-hand section on Bent Street side, has done a good job of depicting one of the iconic fig tree trees, with a brush turkey that is common to the Wingham brush. There could be what would be flying foxes or bats leaving their roost of Wingham Brush in the upper section, and on the left side of the fig tree, either an eel, or a goanna.
Above the right-hand side, almost at Central Park level is a plaque that reads:
"This Art Project was commissioned by the Wingham Akoostik Music Festival Committee in 2009 as a gift to the town.
"The mosaic was designed by Gwen Ford, completed by volunteers, and funded by the Country Arts Support Program, Regional Arts NSW."
