Description: Paydirt, by Peter Day and Jo-anne Fuller, is a water feature located at the centre of Mashman Park. The fountain is a tribute to the brickworks and pottery heritage of the area. A series of painted tiles refer to the site’s layers of history, and uses the glaze colours common to pottery.
