The "Create to Liberate" mural was in McCoy street, in the suburb of Myaree, the street just before Hulme Court, where last week's mural was. It was painted in 2016 by local artist Chris Nixon.

The McCoy Street shops had been plagued by petty crime in 2015 coinciding with the school holidays, cameras showing bored teenagers throwing rocks through the windows, tagging walls and a couple of attempted break-ins.

So the businesses and nearby residence approached Melville council which helped co-ordinate a mural project which local artist Chris Nixon created.

The coffee shop owner says the project draws upon the principle of place-making; people will respect a public space if effort has been put into sprucing it up! 

“There’s an unspoken rule you don’t tag over someones tag.” 

She hoped that the teenagers would use the mural's inspiring message to turn their lives around. It seems to have worked, as the businesses are still there and 7 years later the mural is still untagged!

These murals were across the parking lot from the clinic where I had my endoscopy in July - the GI Clinic.

Located in the business precinct in Hulme Court, in the suburb of Myaree, the very long mural was painted by Perth artist Brenton See, in December 2019.

Brenton specialises in painting Western Australian flora and fauna, to educate the world on how lucky we are to share our planet with such wonders and his murals focus on native species within 15km of the location of the walls he is painting, to show the public what can be found close-by.

Among the creatures represented in this mural are a dolphin, a fairy tern, red-capped plover, western banjo frog and a dusky moorhen.
