Gilbert's Capture

A feature mural on The Old Produce Store in Binalong which depicts the story of Johnny Gilbert's capture, unveiled 150 years later. This long artwork replaces an earlier mural by Lizz Murphy painted in 1983. A poem by Banjo Patterson tells the story of how Gilbert died.

There's never a stone at the sleeper's head,
There's never a fence beside, and the wandering stock on the grave may tread
Unnoticed and undenied:
But the smallest child on the Watershed can tell you how Gilbert died.

The mural was unveiled as part of the Wild Colonial Re-enactment weekend and coordinated by the Binalong Arts Group.
