<div>Millmerran is located 206 km west of Brisbane and can be found 82 km south-west of Toowoomba on the Gore Highway.</div><div><br></div><div>There are a series five historical murals in Millerran including the mural on the water reservoir. I’m unsure of when it was painted and who the artist or artists were.</div><div><br></div><div>According to Aussie Towns “there is a very useful brochure (available at the museum) which has a map identifying where the five Historical Murals are located and what each of them depicts. There is a mural on the Old Milmerran Butter Factory depicting the development of the local dairy industry; one on the outer wall of the Transport Depot depicting the evolution of transport from horse drawn drays through rail to modern trucks; one on the town reservoir depicting the early days of transporting water to Millmerran; on the swimming pool wall showing swimming costume fashions and the local water hole where people swam until an Olympic-size pool was built in 1966; and one on the Millmerran &amp; District Historical Society wall depicting two traction engines which were imported from England in 1885. They are an effective visual history of the town and the district.”</div><div><br></div><div>For more information please visit http://www.aussietowns.com.au/town/milmerran-qld</div><div>Photo 📸credit goes also to Aussie Towns.</div><div><br></div>
