Sign of the times

The new Stirling Point sign was installed on a stormy evening in November 2018.

The old sign, which was a little the worse for wear, had to be replaced after it was discovered some of the blades were not correctly positioned. It was also an opportunity to update the sign by adding a blade pointing to Invercargill’s sister city Suqian, China.

The new sign was made by local business Bluff Engineering.
