Monday Murals - at Hillary's Harbour & Sorrento Beach

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

Can't believe I still hadn't posted these murals, photos taken in April 2025 when I met up with Grace and we had lunch at Hillary's Harbour.

All murals by Perth based artist Peter Ryan.









The following murals are from Sorrento Beach, just a 15 minute walk from Hillary's Harbour, also painted by Peter Ryan in March 2019.

The inspiration came from drawings by kids from Mullaloo Beach Primary School, which he had the challenge to incorporate into the murals. They were painted at the Sorrento Surf Club and at the  shower block.

The students visited the site to view the process and each left their paint mark before they left.

  1. Impressive collaboration by an artist and schoolchildren! Our weather has been depressing so I haven’t seen any actual murals lately, but I located some for Valentine Day by the most famous mural artist.
    THanks for hosting.

  5. These are great! We've got a new mural near us and the artist popped into the neighbourhood fb group to explain the back story. I will try to stop by for next week. It was really lovely to get the full thinking behind the design.....

  6. Love especially "The big fish", Sami, and need to go back to Hillarys, but what is with the weather, where is summer??? 25C is too cold for a swim! Need to look up Sorrento Beach :-)

    1. Thanks Iris. We went out for a walk around the neighbourhood last night and Jose said "What happened to Summer this year?" It was quite cool at night, but even during the day it has been much cooler than normal. Sorrento Beach is next to Hillary's Boat Harbour.
