Melbourne artist Adnate has chosen to tell the stories of local indigenous people after developing a friendship with the Barengi Gladjin Land Council. He painted different generations to show the strong ancestral connection children have with their elders.

Rupanyup

Russian artist, Julia Volchkova painted two of the local teens in their netball and AFL uniforms. The mural shows the importance of sport in rural communities and the strength, hope and comaraderie it brings.

Rochester

The Rochester Silo art is a bit of a ring in, but in the general area of the Rapunyup Silo so we thought we would include it. Australian artist Jimmy DVate has also painted two locals – this time the endangered Squirrel Glider and the brilliant blue Azure Kingfisher.
