Monday Mural - Botanicals

WISHING YOU ALL A WONDERFUL NEW YEAR

I love murals and street art. If you like murals or have a mural you'd like to post, this meme is for you.  Just follow the Linky steps below.  Once you start looking you will find murals everywhere.  The "Monday Mural" meme goes live on Monday at 12,01AM, Perth,Western Australian time. Be sure to link back to this blog and visit your fellow posters. Looking forward to your mural finds this week.  Thanks, Sami.

When we attended an open-air jazz at the Wireless Hill Reserve, in the suburb of Ardross, in mid November,  I found a new mural.

Painted by Joanna Brown, a West Australian illustrator with a love of all things botanical, on the walls of the public toilets.

  1. That's a truly beautiful way to liven up a public restroom area. These flowers are stunning and the side panels add lots of color. It is a really lovely mural and a beautiful find.

  4. Good strong colours in the work. I expect Wireless Hill has historical reasons for its name, but I also wonder if an effort is made to not have visible wires and keep it wireless.

    1. Thanks Andrew.
      Wireless Hill was the site of Applecross Wireless Station in 1912, used for telecommunications during World War One and World War Two, using Morse Code to communicated with ships off the Australian coast using a mast that was 112 metres tall.
      In the old Engine Room of the Station, is now the Wireless Hill Museum.
