Wall murals in a country town

[Ozzie_Traveller]

G'day all

Across Oz there are many small towns which beautify otherwise blank walls with murals of one sort or another. This group of murals comes from the NSW town of Kurri Kurri (meaning 'the first' ) - located about 200km NW of Sydney

Don't you just hate people with talent like this. I know I am so jealous of them as I struggle with stick figures.
But what is in my mind the stand out one is the last right down to the font in the numbers. I find this extra touch so good.
But wish I could be as good as one of them as they have got what I wish I had.
Nicely taken.

Thanks mate ... you and me both the same here !
One reason that I love the camera is that my hand plus a brush or crayon just does not get me anywhere ... and your ref to the font in the numbers is 100% on-the-button

That's a lot of excellent murals for one small town

Hi Alan
There were possibly 50 murals across the town - and some were in camera-inaccessible locations

There are a lot more and I was not familiar with those. You will have to go back

[Ozzie_Traveller]

Hans - anything's possible !

Many great pieces of art you captured Phil. You've shown how good it is that people can firstly do the work and secondly that it's appreciated by all who live there. Art was my passion back in my school days and my highest marks ever were for my art. I haven't picked up the brushes since I left school in 1966. I envy these artists skills that you are displaying. Great presentation.

G'day mate ... yes my brush skills were last utilised in school - I never seemed to have much co-ordination there, which is why I love the camera so much
