Looking forward to your mural finds this week.

Thanks Sami

I Recently met up with a friend in the inner city suburb of Subiaco (just west of the city centre) to have dinner at the Subiaco Hotel & pub

I took the train, arrived early and walked a couple of blocks to photograph this mural, which was painted in 2021 by Perth artist James Giddy, at the back of Hesperia Property Developer, at the Forrest Street car park at Denis St.

The mural depicts two red-tailed black cockatoos, which are significant for Hesperia due to their focus on conservation and ongoing support of the Karrakin Recovery Centre. 

"Karrak" is the Noongar (local Aboriginal language) word for the cockatoo.




This mural is painted next to two other murals painted in 2017 by Spanish artist Okuda San Miguel, which I posted about in this post : https://sami-colourfulworld.blogspot.com/2020/10/monday-mural-paint-subi-2.html

  5. Huge images of birds are so impressive! Very nice murals. Thank you for hosting.

    This morning I was surprised to find myself watching the creation of a mural at the National Museum of the American Indian in Washington, DC, so I quickly made a post to share with you, Sami, and the mural-lovers in your orbit.
