Located on the roundabout on the corner of Tamar and Cherry Street, and best viewed from one of the adjacent footpaths, Homeward Currents – Osprey is a striking public sculpture by Northern Rivers artist Leith Walton. The sculpture was created to celebrate the beauty and sacredness of native birds and their connection to Ballina's rivers and coastline. Crafted from corten steel and recycled timber, the sculpture reflects the natural environment — its earthy tones and organic form echoing the flight and grace of the osprey, a species commonly seen soaring over the Richmond River. An aerial perspective of the Richmond River catchment patterns the bird's wings capturing a moment of motion and meaning, reminding viewers of the interwoven relationship between land, water, and wildlife. Leith Walton grew up in the rainforests of northern New South Wales and has always been inspired by the natural world. His creative practice spans illustration, sculpture, and murals — blending whimsy, fantasy, and environmental storytelling. Working in both traditional and digital mediums, Leith's art explores the intersection of beauty, imagination, and structure. His public artworks, such as Homeward Currents, are designed to be both visually captivating and deeply connected to place.

Raised in the northern rainforests of New South Wales, the artist Leith Walton draws endless inspiration from the natural world and its rhythms. His creative practice spans illustration, sculpture, and mural work — weaving fantasy, storytelling, and environmental reflection into each piece.

Hoods Lagoon and Century Park are situated in the inland township of Clermont. Clermont was established on the northern banks of the Hoods Lagoon in 1862, after the discovery of gold. A memorial plaque at the southern entrance of the Lagoon honours the victims of the 1916 flood that destroyed the entire business sector and 65 people perished. A marker on the tall pole depicts the height of the floodwater. Today, this area is a beautiful spot for a family picnic or to just relax and watch the wildlife on the lagoon. The park is a relaxing venue with a barbecue, picnic tables and toilet facilities. Strictly no camping on-site. There are a number of footpaths and boardwalks around the Lagoon enabling visitors to explore the numerous memorials which tell the story of Clermont's past.

The Hop Queen mural was a self-initiated and financed collaborative project between local artist Travis Price and Mass Motion. Much of Price's focus with work had been outside of Ballarat for some time and he wanted to create something that would resonate with local residents. The byline, The past is History, was a tongue in cheek acknowledgment of Ballarat's well-documented history but also a call to action to move on to create their own identity/future. With over 20 years of experience working as a creative, Travis Price has built a reputation as a leader in the commercial illustration industry. A product of the University of Ballarat, Price has worked for some of the most innovative advertising agencies, bands and clothing brands. Respected internationally for his evolution and experimentation in vector illustration Price has presented at numerous design conferences and universities regarding his work including the National Gallery of Victoria. Price continues to work on a variety of commercial and apparel projects from his home studio in Ballarat surrounded by his growing family. The Hop Queen mural was painted over three days in April 2016 with the help of fellow local artists Merda and Cax One.
