THE GATEWAY to the Myall Quays shopping precinct has received a long-awaited clean-up, with major clearing of the front pond starting last week. The front pond has two silver dolphin statues, frozen in perpetual dives, but they have not been readily visible to visitors to Tea Gardens nor the shopping centre for more than a year.
