Broome art teacher Liz Manera is set to create a landmark sculpture celebrating the historic event which gave Cable Beach its name as part of the foreshore redevelopment project. Ms Manera’s design will commemorate the installation of the undersea telegraph cable in 1889 at the iconic tourist destination from which Cable Beach is named after. “Broome has been my home for more than seven years and I visited annually for more than a decade before that. I’m incredibly proud to bring this important moment in our history to life with creative and thoughtful design,” she said. Shire president Chris Mitchell said he was sure the sculpture will become another iconic sunset picture location for locals and tourists.
