  2. This is a really stunning mural. What I like about it is it shows natural selection works and, if humans would stay away and not interfere, Mother Nature would be able to take care of herself and the land.

  7. The mural is beautiful: a real appreciation of these lovely creatures. It's sad that videos like the one you have see natural behavior of non-humans as "funny" rather than an example of the interesting diversity of the natural world, and seem a bit contemptuous of other species than ourselves.

  14. I have seen most of the world's cranes and the last species was two Brolgas in Werribee, VIctoria, just outside Melbourne, so this mural has special appeal for me. It is extremely well done too.
