Our Mulwala Wall Art
Overview
The Our Mulwala Wall Art is an installation erected on the external wall of the Mulwala Council Office and Library.
The 4.3-metre wide x 2.4-metre high piece includes cultural and historical photographs of Mulwala etched into aluminium and creates a unique way to display history.
Dating back to the 1800s the images include historic buildings such as the Mulwala Bridge, Royal Mail Hotel, Mulwala Post Office, and the Mulwala Homestead. Mulwala icons such as Pat Talbot, who introduced the first mail delivery in Mulwala in 1960, workers from the King and Jones Sawmill, and the 1923 Mulwala Football Team. Favourite activities such as the Maypole dance and golf feature alongside the Halburd’s punt and the old goods- train crossing the Murray River.
The artwork is a joint project between the Mulwala Library History Group and the Federation Council.
