Monday Mural – Wildhop Brewery

On our recent trip to Dunsborough we had lunch one day at Wildhop Brewery. They had the most amazing mural along the front entrance and also a smaller one at the back.

The front entrance

It was fairly busy when we arrived and there was a queue of people in front of the mural, luckily they had gone by the time we came out.

This was one of the best places we visited. Beautiful grounds, family friendly and delicious food.

The special of the day was Roast leg of lamb which we all had plus roasted Brussels and roast potatoes. A gourmet lunch.

It’s a good idea to book as it gets packed out. We had the middle session! The food arrives very quickly but still 90 minutes is still a rush to savour your lunch.

These photos were taken on our way down to Dunsborough. It’s just a small picnic area with toilets. I’m sure they weren’t there a couple of years ago. The mosaic work is just beautiful.

The area was in Waroona, WA

Flora and Fauna

On Saturday while out for a walk around Lake Claremont I came across a beautiful new mural from Friends of Lake Claremont. I thought it was absolutely stunning with so much detail. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

I love the way the tree keeps growing onto the roof. It blends in so well with the natural scenery.

Australian Women of the Past

I’ve noticed recently that Australian Women of note from the past have been painted on murals. I think it’s a great way to commemorate their lives.

Monday Mural – Sheffield, Tasmania

Some wonderful murals from the Town of Sheffield, Tasmania. The mural capital of Australia.

Any Vacancies – Julian Bale
Spirited Horses – John Landis

 In 1919 a severe electrical storm struck while men were working on the Cradle Mountain road. A bolt of lightning hit a nearby tree causing the horses to take fright and throw their riders, breaking the back of Ross Connell who died six weeks later in hospital.

The mural shows the mountains in the park, as well as the often extreme weather conditions. Source: Sheffield Visitor Information.

Monday Murals : Mount Lawley, WA

Only recently have I discovered so much street art work around Perth. Melbourne doesn’t have the monopoly anymore after I visited Mount Lawley, a suburb north of Perth. I downloaded an urban street art map and found all sorts of wonderful works up side streets and down alleys.

Seinfeld and his cronies

Who can you spot? Jerry, Elaine, Kramer, George, Jerry White and the Soup Nazi!

The above mural was painted by Paul Deej on the wall behind the IGA Supermarket.

I could just about make out the picture on this. James Dean? I cannot seem to find any info about this picture.

This last one is my favourite, so colourful and with so much detail. By Pablito – Something about Jazz

I’m not one for going into art museums but there’s something about street art that really grabs my attention. I will be following the Perth Street Art Map around the suburbs from now on.
