name hintsNeed some inspiration for your competition entry? The judges will look for a name that is relevant to the local area, and also easily recognisable for locals and visitors to Footscray. The new station footbridge will replace the existing footbridge, which was built more than 50 years ago. Improving public transport access in central Footscray is one of the key concerns of the community. Ideally, the name you choose will include a reference or a connection to the area. This could relate to things such as indigenous culture, local flora and fauna, migration and settlement, local geography or significant events. What about visiting the Footscray Historical Society website for some inspiration? Footscray is 150 years old – what important events in its history might help you think up a name? See the slideshow on this website for inspiration. Visit the Footscray Historical Images Group on Facebook and check out amazing photos showing the people, industry, commerce and life of Footscray over the past 150 years. Read up on the full history. Borrow some books on the area from a local Library, like John Lack’s, “A History of Footscray”. Whatever your choice, you must also include an explanation of why you chose the entry name, in 25 words or less. |
