Monday Murals - Aboriginal mural in Jabiru

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.

This Aboriginal mural was painted at the back of the Aboriginal-run Marrawuddi Gallery building in Jabiru, in the Northern Territory, which I visited during my trip to Darwin and Kakadu National Park in September 2021.

Quite pretty colours don't you think?





The entrance to the gallery at the front of the building had another simpler mural.

  1. I like the bright warm colors. I was so glad to see all the detail shots, because my eye was initially drawn to the bird at the top, and I completely missed one of the fish. This was an example of beautifully created Aboriginal art.

    Oh. And are those ants? Ingo: "Oww, owww, owww!" And I thought, "outch, what is this" and thought of pollen/plants. Sat on ants. ;-)

    1. I have no idea, they have an upturned tail...We have some aggressive ants in the garden sometimes and it hurts for a while when they bite!

  22. Olá, Sami.
    Venho do espaço do Pedro Coimbra. Escrevi o meu comentário por baixo do seu, achei graça ao nome e simpatizei com o seu blog...

    Que mural espetacular, especialmente pela harmonia da combinação dos tons de ocre... Beleza e bom gosto...
    Há um mural no México que tem sido notícia internacional por pedir paz para a Ucrãnia. Consta na 'net'...
    Dias bons e agradáveis.
