Australian Public tART

Girenhao I'm not sure if I've identified the artist correctly. There is a street artist by this name but I couldn't find evidence they'd ever been in Australia and…

Kaff-eine Any chance I get I like to ask the back packers if they've seen  a Drop Bear or a Hoop Snake yet. I'm not the biggest fan of Kaff-eines work but I truly apprecia…

Cuddles We spotted this and had to do a U-turn to get back to the rest stop it was nestled at. There are around half a dozen structures along the Stuart Highway from the NT boarde…

Pink Panther I've visited this one a few times (2016 & 2018) and was lucky enough to visit again in 2024 to get a photo of Mallory here.  She's a little hard to see gi…

Kaff-eine This tank is rather randomly waiting to be photographed at a Stuart highway rest stop in Newcastle Waters. It's close to the road and easily spotted. It features a c…

Kronosaurus I feel like this blog is slowly becoming a giant Mural database. I'm glad when I finally get to visit a 'BIG Thing' even if it's not to scale or even…

Bastian Allfrey You know, I've owned a drone for a few years and never taken the time to learn to use it. Technology irks me a little but I wish I had a drone for this water t…

Drapl  and  The Zookeeper These weren't hard to find but it does require a bit of walking in thick river bed. There are actually three pieces here and while I checked the th…

Unknown Artist Another beautiful painted unit with no initials or TAG in West End, Townsville. This is a somewhat more elusive find and will require a short walk. You can access…

Unknown Artist I never did find out who painted these amazing murals. I asked a few of the local artists and both seemed surprised by their existence.  I happened on them on a h…
