Bingi Playground Naming Celebration

5 August 2020

Council invited the students from Talbingo Public School to come up with a name for the new Talbingo adventure playground. Mrs Levey (Talbingo School Principal) set the students a homework task to submit a name that had a connection to the indigenous history of the area or the Snowy Hydro scheme.

The students voted Bingi the winner! Bingi meaning 'Big Belly' after the big Talbingo mountain.

Cr Cate Cross joined the students in unveiling the name of the new playground and a little fun was had by all (see photo of Cr Cross in the mouse house).

The new sign tells a story about how the name was chosen and it’s meaning.

Thanks to Stan Russell for performing the smoking ceremony.
