Description The City of Knox commissioned a series of panels and a brochure for its multi-use trail network which interpreted the famous cycling achievements of Sir Hubert 'Oppy' Opperman. Each trail featured a piece of modern sculpture.
 


This linear trail featured a panel at each end and a plaque at the sculpture. The challenge was to help trail users understand the significance of Oppy's super-human achievements, cater for users travelling in either direction and provide brief, punchy text for visitors on the run ... or walk ...or ride.
