Hay | Unknown

Truthfully these pylons just didn't do it for me. When I pulled up to the road leading into this park it was shoe deep in mud. I walked down this road almost slipping twice and through the park. The walk across the park was find but nearing the bridge the long grass put me on edge. I've travelled a lot and never seen many wild snakes but this area had me raising my heckles. I moved slow and consistently listened for the sound of slither slither but made it around the causeway without incident. My note on my map says it was painted by the inmates of the Warakirri Centre at Ivanhoe which is a good 2 hours drive North of Hay. I don't really know if they did paint the mural. Unfortunately at the time of trying to google this answer my searched were dominated with hay bale art and Haymarket Sculptures which aren't overly helpful and just makes me want to visit more things.

Hay South | BIG Nails

Sharon Stevens After a week of my maps not accepting pictures preventing me from moving forward with my photo sorting I've finally rectified the issue. Damn cookies! My second stop after leaving Mathoura was Hay which had a nice collection of public art. I didn't have time to research the town prior to my visit so I'm sure there's more than what I'll be uploading over the course of the next few days. This beauty dubbed 'The Big Nails' by BIG thing enthusiasts is actually called 'A Collection of Points' It was first exhibited in the 2004 Sculpture by the Sea, which is why I love the annual event so much. The sculpture was gifted to the Hay Shear Outback complex in 2016 by the artist, Sharon Stevens and is accompanied by some very basic BIG Sheers incorporated into the facilities front gates.

Avoca | Jimmi Buscombe

Jimmi Buscombe I wish I could have stayed till nightfall to witness and photograph the glow in the dark paint. This was my last stop for the day before heading to the In-laws at Mathoura,NSW and having a few rest days before heading to Sydney and starting my rather lengthily journey to Townsville. I'd seen some of the artists work in Limore and Warrnambool, which I'm still yet to upload, and grew quite excited to see this. Its nice to see a bit of outside box thinking when it comes to large scale art. I'd like to, at some point, make a timeline for the Silos with pictures and what not and may begin something fun once I catch up with my posts which likely wont happen for a good 6 months. My journey from Sydney to Townsville had me visiting around 18 murals a day for three months so there's A LOT to post. Good Bye for now Victoria!
