In August I drove to the suburb of Bayswater, just north east of Perth's city centre to get a quote,and I came across a few murals on the main road - King William Street. 

Wrapping around the Bayswater Community Centre is a mural commissioned by the City, and painted by muralist Hurben (The Baysie Rollers project).  It portrays black swans, birds and emus, relating to the history of the area with connections to the river and local wildlife.

Around the corner on Olfe Street Hurben's mural continues with a few quirky characters painted on the walls of the Child Health Centre.

A gigantic mural titled "Chase the colour", was painted by Perth artist Brenton See in November 2020, on the walls of the Western Power Substation, on the campus of the Queen Elizabeth II Medical Centre, on Monash Avenue, in the suburb of Nedlands. 

It displays the fauna and flora that can be found around the campus - Carnaby's Cockatoo, Pink fairy orchid, motorbike frog, white-cheeked honeyeater, dancing spider orchid, stinkwood quenda, Swan river myrtle, Prickly moses, Firewood Banksia and Red-tailed Black Cockatoo.

Brenton is a keen photographer and birdwatcher who loves gathering reference photos for his murals, which he hopes will educate the world on just how lucky we are to share our planet with such wonders. His work focus on celebrating native species that can be found within 15km (9,32miles) of the location of his murals.

Another mural painted by Perth artist Melski McVee in June 2023, on utility boxes at the recently upgraded Warwick Park in the suburb of St James.

The park is bordered by Walpole and Pitt Streets, and the upgrade is part of the Bentley Parkscape Program which delivered upgrades to six parks in the Bentley 360 development. The park is just 200mt (656ft) from the also recently upgraded Dumond Park (mural posted last week also from same artist).

The upgrade included new pathways, the planting of over 40 trees and 3000 shrubs for shade, a bird watering station, nesting boxes and insect hotels which will attract more wildlife, and of course the new mural, all contributing to an attractive space for locals.

Mural painted by Perth artist Melski McVee on an utility box at Dumond Park, (Walpole and Holder streets) in the suburb of St James in June 2023.

The park has recently been upgraded and transformed into an urban forest, sanctuary for the community to relax and connect with nature, with the planting of over 40 trees and 3000 shrubs to provide shade and attract wildlife as well as 3 bee and insect hotels created with the assistance of the students of Bentley Primary School and a new mural was painted.

The park is just 200 metres (656 feet) from Warwick Park, which also got a new mural, which I'll post next week.
