A white ceramic plaque embedded in the western-most mosaic gives the names of the Gloucester Art Society members that contributed to the creation of the project in 2003: D. Bardwell, E. Bartlett, J. Carson, M. Clunas, D. Glew, J. Larkey, L. McLeod, N. Parsonage, P. Robinson, A. Smith, J. Spokes, A. Thomas, M. Woodford, and L. Monro.
There are six windows that would have been on the side of the Gloucester Newsagency, that are now 'bricked in', and are covered with ceramic mosaics.
There is also an explanatory plaque for the six mosaics:
Panels: A - The Clear, B - Dairy, and C - Steam
A. The Clear, clean upper reaches of the local rivers of the tops provide excellent trout fishing while white water canoeing is exciting on the Barrington River. [Eastern-most mosaic]
B. The first settlers began dairy farming in Gloucester's green valleys. Technology and economic efficiency has changed dairying from many small, to few large producers.
C. This steam train records the importance of transport for the district from the earliest bullock teams and stagecoaches to the XPT of today.
Panels: D - Goldmining, E - Cpt Thunderbolt, and F - Timber
D. Gold mining - in the early days there was gold in the hills [around Copeland]. You can still find specks in the rivers, if you are lucky.
E. Cpt Thunderbolt, the bushranger, rode this country. He was said to have never killed a man and was gentle with woman.
F. Timber getting has been a vital part of life in Gloucester from the earliest days.
