Three new signs have been installed to provide visitors with information about the environment and history of the reserve.
The Friends of Daly Nature Reserve obtained grant funding and put together the initial designs. After extensive collaboration with Macedon Ranges Shire Council and consultation with Wurundjeri Woi-wurrung the signs were erected in January 2024.
One of the signs makes reference to the aboriginal heritage of the site and the seasons recognised by the Wurundjeri Woi-wurrung. Another sign informs visitors of the importance of the reserve and what they may find during their visit.
The third smaller sign refers to the European history of the site and to Mr Ulick Lord Daly, former Mayor of Gisborne, who upon his death bequeathed the reserve and his garden, which contains heritage fruit trees, to the people of Gisborne.
Unfortunately the smaller sign was severely vandalised shortly after its installation and is currently undergoing restoration work.
