Titled "Airborn", it was painted by Darren Hutchens at the Success Youth Centre, across the library, also in the City of Cockburn. 

The shapes in the mural were inspired by birds.

The Aboriginal patterns are at the entrance of the Success Library.

Another great mural painted at The Piazza, Fremantle, as part of a makeover under new ownership. This playful white cat was painted in a 2 storey building by Fremantle artist Adam Cicanese aka ArtbyRow, at the end of October 2025.

Another great mural painted at The Piazza in Fremantle, as part of a makeover under new ownership. Painted in January 2026 by Perth artist Jerome Davenport aka Ketones 6000.

The mural sends a message about the importance of caring for the environment for future generations, and hoping to inspire the audience to think about their role in mitigating environmental damage.

It was a bit difficult to photograph it, as the mural was painted high up on the side of a building in a narrow laneway.

PS: I went to a meeting in Fremantle, (Sunday 29th) went past The Piazza and found another mural being painted in between this mural and Bordalo's quokkas mural (from last week). It appeared almost ready, the cherry picker lift was still there, but not the artist, and I couldn't find anything online about it yet...

On Monday 23rd February I had met up with Iris in Fremantle to go and photograph murals.

I knew from social media that a Portuguese artist - Bordalo II, had been painting a mural in Fremantle in the last few days of the previous week, so I hoped to be able to catch him still painting. 

The mural was finished, still fenced in, but we found the artist, Artur Bordalo and had a quick chat to him and learned that this was his first artwork in Australia and that he will be coming back towards the end of the year to create another mural for the Swan Valley Art trail. 

Bordalo's grandfather named Artur Real Bordalo (1925–2017) was a well-known landscape artist in Portugal.

Another one of his 3D Big trash animals, using plastics and other discarded materials to highlight environmental pollution, can be seen at The Piazza Fremantle (South Terrace). This time a mom and baby quokka - the little marsupials native to Western Australia, mainly seen in Rottnest Island.

The Piazza was looking quite unloved, and is now going through a revival, with further artworks being painted later in the year in a mural festival to take place in November.

And to show how lovable they are, here are a few pictures of the little quokkas taken at the small Rottnest Island , 19km from Perth.

This mural was missing from the Subiaco series of "No more Blank Walls", painted in October 2024, as I hadn't photographed the finished mural. 

Since going to Subiaco in February with Iris, when she visited from Germany, I managed to take a photo and this series is now complete! By coincidence it is also a mural relevant to the current world situation.

Space of Peace, painted by Wild Drawing, a muralist from Bali, Indonesia, residing in Athens, Greece, at 36 Rowland Street, Subiaco. Painted in November 2024 for "No More Blank Walls" festival.

The artist wrote in his instagram at the time: "With 92 countries currently involved in conflict across their borders (a lot more now 😢) - the highest number since World War II - it is time to recall that real peace is more than the absence of war; it is an absence of the causes of war.

Apologies to those that tried to link their murals: I somehow copied the link of the previous mural, hence it didn't work. All updated now.
