Monday Mural - Carnaby’s Black Cockatoos

When we went to South Fremantle, to the Codfish Academy lunch on the 15th, I spotted a mural as soon as we parked our car in Marine Parade.  

Painted in November 2016 by UK born artist Marina Lommerse at Florence Park, on Marine Parade.
This community managed park, is planted with native plants to attract native birds, and has areas for children and adults to interact with nature.
The 18mt (59ft) long mural called "Carnaby's Food Forest" with Carnaby black cockatoos reminds us of the bird life we are losing in urban areas, and how important it is to supply food sources like native plants, as well as providing learning opportunities.

If you like murals or have a mural you'd like to post, this meme is for you; 
Just follow the Linky steps below.   Be sure to link back to this blog and visit your fellow mural bloggers.  Looking forward to your mural finds this week.  
Thanks, Sami. 










And this is the kids area in the park. 







At Ruocco's Restaurant, where we had lunch, a couple of walls in the main dining room were also adorned with murals with Italian landscapes.

  4. Obviously I applaud the restoration of native habitat in the city, and the fact that murals are used in this sort of educational manner seems especially laudatory to me.

  6. What a beautiful place this is! I can´t even decide what I like best. I´m also back in Italy, too, in my mind, hearing the former GDR-saxony accent (as we travelled with a bunch of people from Dresden)!

  15. The black cockatoo mural is amazing. It is most impressive and must be HUGE in real life. The children's area is adorable and the restaurant murals are outstanding. You find the best murals around. I'm keeping my eyes open now!!!
