Two Tjilbruke Dreaming Track Message Sticks are being installed along the trail. These living cultural markers honour the deep significance of the Onkaparinga coast and the Tjilbruke songline—a sacred narrative connecting land, sea, and sky Country.

Created by Senior Kaurna man and lead designer Karl Winda Telfer, the works continue a cultural obligation entrusted to him by his late mother, Georgina Yambo Williams, who laid cultural markers (cairns) across Country in the early 1980s. Developed in collaboration with artist Tony Rosella and landscape architects T.C.L., the message sticks embody the dreaming and cultural authority of the Tjilbruke story.
