With the support of Katrine Hildyard, Member for Reynell and Chris Picton, Member for Kaurna, the state government has provided funding to help bring this vision to life.

Two Tjilbruke Dreaming Track Message Sticks will be installed along the trail in October as living cultural markers, honouring the deep cultural significance of the Onkaparinga coast and the Tjilbruke songline.

These works have been created by Karl Winda Telfer, Senior Kaurna Man, and lead designer, who now carries the Tjilbruke story with strength and integrity. This cultural obligation was handed down to Karl by his late mother, Georgina Yambo Williams, who laid cultural markers (cairns) over the country in the early 1980s.

Through his guidance, the message sticks embody the dreaming and the cultural authority of the Tjilbruke songline over land, sea and sky Country.
