Monday Murals - Fauna and Flora in North Dandalup

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 

The day after the start of our holiday at Serpentine Falls, we drove to the gold mining town of Boddington, about 1h away, and on the way we stopped twice as I spotted murals.

This was the first one just 15 minutes down the road, in the town of North Dandalup, along the South West Highway, next to the North Dandalup Memorial Hall.

It was painted in a water tank by the very talented Perth artist Brenton See, in February 2021. It features native flora and fauna to the local area - the Western Pygmy Possum and a female Red-Trailed Black Cockatoo in flight.

Isn't it stunning?

  4. Very impressive murals! I'm also impressed that the water tank is located on the ground rather than being elevated.

    1. Yes, it is strange that the tank is on the ground. Thanks Mae

  5. Beautifully painted. That train looks like it could pop right out of the tank.

    1. Boddington was 1 h drive from Serpentine, where we camped. North Dandalup is 15min from Serpentine. No train to that area, a bus would take about 2,30h!
