Tootool Telstra Telephone Exchange Building Mural

The Tootool Telephone Exchange Building mural vividly depicts an old telephone, the Tootool Public School badge, the historic Tootool Bridge, native flora and fauna, and a representation of the iconic swaggie familiar to the Tootool–French Park area.

This remarkable mural was brought to life through a collaboration between the Tootool Rest Stop Committee and the local Council. Following extensive community consultations, the project was enthusiastically supported.

The artwork was created by Damien Mitchell, an Australian-US based artist originally from the Riverina, known for his large-scale scare murals. Damien began painting on 25 May and completed the mural the very next day, adding a unique cultural landmark to the region.
