This is a local community centre used for various sports, language teaching, etc.and backs onto large park with barbecues and a skate park. A colleague knowing I'm always on the lookout for murals indicated there was a mural behind the building.
It was painted in 2012 by Dan Duggan (the same artist who painted the last 3 bus stops I posted) and other local young artists. The mural is 25mt wide by 2,4mt high, the theme being "Balance" relating to work/life balance and a balance in terms of nutrition choices and exercise.

A hidden gem!
ReplyDeleteCertainly hidden from me, thanks Halcyon.
DeleteThe letters and the sad monitor are my favourites! Great mural!
ReplyDeleteThanks Paula.
DeleteNice mural but what is the balance here.
ReplyDeleteI presume it's the balance between having time to enjoy life and working hard too.
DeleteVery nice mural.
ReplyDeleteThanks Marianne.
DeleteAw, that poor monitor!
ReplyDeleteWisely chosen, the theme for the location.
Thanks Iris, the monitor looks a big sad :(
DeleteI love everything about this mural! And perfect in its context in this pretty park!
ReplyDeleteHave a good week!
Thanks Christine.
Delete...It pays to take a different route now and then.
ReplyDeleteThat's true Tom, you never know what treasures you can find...
DeleteI like these murals as well.
ReplyDeleteThis is a nice initiative.
Thanks Catarina.
DeleteWhat a nice surprise to find! It's enormous and very well painted.
ReplyDeleteThanks Marleen.
DeleteHere's to more balance for all of us!
ReplyDeleteHave a happy week.

Quite right Wren, we all need more balance in our lives, which is sometimes hard to achieve!
DeleteYou drove that way daily and it was there the whole time, waiting to be discovered.
ReplyDeleteNow there's balance. :)
Have a great week, Sami. :)
Thanks Nambiar :)
DeleteIt was a lovely example of a hidden gem. It was more cartoonish than the three bus stops, though!
ReplyDeleteThanks Elizabeth, yes it's a different style from the bus stops even thought the main artist was the same.
DeleteMais um absolutamente espectacular.
ReplyDeleteBjs
Obrigada Pedro.
DeleteNice work. Imagine how drab the wall would look without the mural.
ReplyDeleteThanks Andrew, it would certainly be a boring long wall.
DeleteWhat a super discovery Sami! I wonder how many we don't find by not looking behind buildings ☺ Excellent detail shots here.
ReplyDeleteTrue Grace, there must be dozens of undiscovered murals around Perth.
DeleteBalance is very important in life and you found another great mural. Swedes seem to be great at balancing their work/private lives, so I'm learning with them.
ReplyDeleteSome people or cultures are better at that than others. Like the Swedes, the Dutch also seem to be good. Thanks Sara.
DeleteIt was time it was found.
ReplyDeleteLove the 'old school' watches :)
Thanks Violet sky.
DeleteUm local verdinho e bem cuidado!Gostei! Cumprimentos e feliz semana!
ReplyDeleteObrigada pela visita Sandra. Bom fim de semana para si.
DeleteDearest Sami,
ReplyDeleteHaha, so glad you discovered this hidden treasure.
Funny at times when we think about passing by such things!
Hugs,
Mariette
Thanks Mariette, it was a nice discovery indeed. Have a lovely weekend.
Delete❤
DeleteSo pleased you discovered this and shared it here.
ReplyDeleteLove your photographs.
All the best Jan
Thanks Jan.
DeleteEven though he's flying a kite, the giant clock and wristwatch suggest he's way out of balance. Pretty funny. Thanks for contributing to this week's Monday Mural.
ReplyDeleteGlad you enjoyed it ODP. Thanks for hosting.
