Newport Lakes Birdlife

"This mural celebrates Newport Lakes, a former quarry site turned bushland oasis for significant birdlife. The mural design includes the iconic stepping stones of Newport Lakes and some of the bird species found there. From left to right they are the New Holland Honeyeater, Sacred Kingfisher, female Superb Fairy-Wren, Lewin’s Rail, Spotted Pardalote, Eurasian Coot and finally, the (male) Pink Robin, which has been sighted at Newport Lakes in 2024. I live in Melbourne’s west and love walking and birdwatching in Hobsons Bay." - Sarah Allen
