Thanks Sami 

Painted by Dutch born, Fremantle based artist, Amok Island, real name Xander Rood, this mural of a "Grevillea pinnatifida" was painted in 2021. at the Dwellingup Community hall, at 45 McLarty Street.

(I've used a photo I found online as the one I took had a lot of people in front of it)


Across the road was a mural of a horse, painted in April 2019 by another Perth artist, James Giddy.

  8. I think you've featured Giddy's work before. It's an interesting way to colour a horse. I love the chosen name Amok Island.

    1. Yes I have, he's painted quite a few murals around Perth, but I think the latest murals are much better than the ones painted a few years ago. Thanks Andrew

  13. Dear Sami, the artist captured the Grevillea pinnatifida well - a beautiful mural. And I also really like the painting of the horse on the opposite side of the street!
    I now say goodbye - with another posting and warm greetings 🙋 - and start the recently announced blog break 😘.
    Stay healthy - we'll read again!
    All the best, Traude
