Monday Mural - Riverton

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


On my birthday Wed 2nd March I went to my local shopping centre to buy some groceries and noticed murals had just started being painted... a few days later they were finished.

The Al Fresco Dining Precinct is getting an upgrade, hence the addition of not one, but two colourful murals - a long one on the wall of the underground car park and a smaller one around the corner near the restaurant area.

Painted by Western Australian artist Andrew Frazer.

Andrew is also the Founder and Creative Director of Six Two Three Zero - an independent, Bunbury based initiative that uses street art as a catalyst for urban development and social change by bringing communities together in conversation and creative inspiration. It is responsible or Directing & Managing the following mural festivals: ReDiscover Bunbury, ReDiscover Armadale & Collie Mural Trail.


The artist was up there on the cherry picker


Mural on the side wall by the restaurant area - "Let's eat together"

  1. Andrew Frazer is an amazing artist. The sign over the underground parking is awesome. And that restaurant sign makes me want to break out in song "Let's get together." Wonderful find. Happy belated birthday, too, Sami!

  12. Yes, let´s eat together sounds great! Last night I dreamed I was in a place with people, no one was wearing a mask and we all felt safe. I think this mural is (for German means) a tad ahead of time, but shows the right way!
    Other... I go with Tom ;-)

  16. Murals are serious business where you live, Sami. Actually someone told me of a couple of local spots where murals have been added, so next time I go by perhaps I will get a shot for your link party. That's assuming I have a camera with me!
