What Bird Is That?

Ultra-real Eucalyptus forest landscape with 40 species of birds, four dogs, a cat and some locals painted throughout the artwork. Painted on the wall of a terrace, the trees in front also blend in seamlessly. Originally painted in 1981, the mural was repainted in 2012.

It was a lovely experience to re-live because it remains one of my favourites and was the first inspiring community art mural I ever did. It taught me the importance of including local people to create something meaningful. It was great to go back there and have the opportunity to redo it – it felt like I was re-affirming my wedding vows! – Peter Day, 2012
