IT was a community effort to install two new signs at the north and south entrances of Cavendish on the Henty Highway, establishing the identity of the little rural town and welcoming visitors.

Cavendish Townscape Association chairperson, Roger Edwards, said the project began with a discussion between the Cavendish Townscape Association, the Southern Grampians Shire Council (SGSC) and the Cavendish Red Gum Festival (CRGF) group following the inaugural festival in 2018.
