Another great mural from Margaret River's main street - Bussell Highway.

It was painted in July 2020 by WA-based artist Jack Brommel in collaboration with southwest artists Sandra Hill and Ian Mutch, depicting the Forest Red-tailed Black Cockatoos native to the South-West. 

Jack painted Marri tree branches (Corymbia calophylla) a species native to the South West, whose name derives from the local Noongar language, and the leaves and flowers complement the Red-Tailed Black Cockatoos and the Indigenous symbology painted by Sandra.

Sandra's design includes a red line on the corner of the building that runs from top to bottom symbolizing the blood line of family all the way back to the creation story of the Margaret River (place of Wooditch). The central brown circle depicts home country, Wadandi Boodjarra (Wadandi home country). The patterns in the middle circle are the traditional markings on our shields. The red circle symbolises old, ancient blood. The black line circle symbolises our community. The ochre dots on the outside symbolise the family clan groups.

Ian painted the Red-tailed black cockatoos, which can be found perched on marri branches feeding on nuts and flowers - an important food source for native bird species.

Remember this mural that I posted in February this year - another one with Red tailed black cockatoos, painted in the suburb of Subiaco (Perth) by Perth artist James Giddy?
