"Tumbalong" is a mural along Hay Street in the Chinatown precinct of the inner city suburb of Haymarket. The 10-metre wide public artwork was created in 2020 by artist Chris Yee and uses Axolotl glass and LED lighting to celebrate the area's indigenous, industrial, and cultural history. The artwork reflects the original indigenous name "Tumbalong" for the area around Cockle Bay. The dancing characters acting as a modern expression of the hunting and gathering traditions of the cockles and Guman pines throughout the area. It also depicts historical sites including the John Dickson Steam Mill, Biddell Brothers confectionary factory, Cormack Cooperage and the former Sydney Entertainment Centre.
