Wren and Friends

Many things catch your eye in the city of Wodonga but a large part is its beautiful display of birds and wildlife. The blue wren - also known as the Superb Fairy Wren – is a small bird but has to be one of the most eye-catching. In this work, the blue wren is surrounded by colours inspired by the blossoming flowers and nature found in the community. This piece is an interactive mural inviting people to come and paint a section of the work, making it their own.

Getting to lengths of 1.8m long and weighing up to 100 kilograms, the Murray Cod is Australia’s largest freshwater fish, currently listed as an endangered species this mural is been created to show a vibrant and electric side of this local legend.
