I'm joining with Sami and others for Monday Murals.
These are rather great murals as they reflect Australian modern history. I can't identify everyone in the panels, and it may not be of interest to you overseas folk. I really did not see who was in this mural until I looked at posting it here.
For me, if I right click and open the photo in a new window, the photos can be very large.
In this first, I can see musician Nick Cave, Chopper Reid, Sir Les Patterson aka Barry Humphries, Peter Garrett, Norman Gunston aka Garry McDonald, Mike Brady, Nicky Winmar, Joan Kirner, Cathy Freeman, Peter Carey, Robert Dipierdomenico and Michael Hutchence. There are more whose identity I don't know.

Who is in this panel? Michael Caton and the film The Castle, Steve Irwin, Kath and Kim, the pop group Spiderbait. Is that really how Ned Kelly looked? Hot looks. My ignorance of popular culture means I can't identify all.

I suppose if you know, you know.
ReplyDeleteI don't 🤔
This one has a real style to it,…..
ReplyDeleteThose are amazing!
ReplyDeleteCertainly, faded but I am glad that none of it has been tagged by our younger generation of kids
ReplyDeleteAmazing mural
ReplyDeleteYou did better than me….I saw Joan Kirner and a few others but a lot just passed me by. Obviously had no ‘influence’ in my life at the time.
ReplyDeleteWhere did you find this beauty? There’s an awful lot of work gone into it - some very lifelike faces there
Maybe ACDC Lane.
DeleteI thought Ned Kelly looked like Mick Jagger.
ReplyDeleteThese two murals are good with all those faces - I recognize a few.
ReplyDeleteThat would be fun walking by and trying to recognise the people in the mural.
ReplyDeleteExcellent murals! I wouldn't recognise most of those people.
ReplyDeleteInteresting murals. They speaks. Thank you for sharing.
ReplyDeleteI can identify Cate Blanchett and Ian Thorpe in the second one, but not as many as you from the first one. Quite interesting murals, so much to discover. Thanks for participating in Monday Murals Andrew.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun way to learn history.

Most of those names are foreign to me, but I did like Kath and Kim.
ReplyDeleteNice art work, I would know very few of the faces.
ReplyDeleteI used to love watching Kath and Kim

The most impressive murals I saw in Ireland they showed the awful war between catholic and protestants.
ReplyDeleteThese days popular culture is so segmented. There are entire worlds we are not privy to. Oh well, I don't feel that I'm missing too much. It was wonderful being in my twenties in the '70s. Being in my '70s in the twenties a little less exciting.
