Monday Mural - Fauna and Flora in Nedlands

 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 

A gigantic mural titled "Chase the colour", was painted by Perth artist Brenton See in November 2020, on the walls of the Western Power Substation, on the campus of the Queen Elizabeth II Medical Centre, on Monash Avenue, in the suburb of Nedlands

It displays the fauna and flora that can be found around the campus - Carnaby's Cockatoo, Pink fairy orchid, motorbike frog, white-cheeked honeyeater, dancing spider orchid, stinkwood quenda, Swan river myrtle, Prickly moses, Firewood Banksia and Red-tailed Black Cockatoo.

Brenton is a keen photographer and birdwatcher who loves gathering reference photos for his murals, which he hopes will educate the world on just how lucky we are to share our planet with such wonders. His work focus on celebrating native species that can be found within 15km (9,32miles) of the location of his murals.

  2. Brenton See is quite an amazing artist. I am delighted you explained what each of the flora and fauna were, because I am sure we don't have most of those in the states. Thanks for hosting, Sami.

  9. Very nice! This is a great way to learn about local fauna and flora.
    I just got back from a park by some wetland & salt ponds and it was great to see the local birds and animals on the walls of the restrooms.

    Thank you for hosting, Sami.
    Have a great week! :)

  11. Very, very beautiful and lifelike! And such funny names, too. I can imagine teachers take pupils there for lessons (I would).
    Beautiful. Must be difficult to get it right with a corner "in the way". Great talent!
