Sami and others post Monday Mural photos.
This is an exciting new mural, in Bowen Crescent less than 200 metres from my garage gate. It was painted by Pete CTO and features Louisa Briggs, who was an Aboriginal matriarch of the Boonwurrung people and the first Aboriginal woman to become a paid midwife. Louisa died in 1925. Such a shame that while her heritage in this country will go back thousands of years, she was not an Australian citizen.

She is beautiful.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful mural, Andrew!
ReplyDeleteI think that aboriginals should rule Australia with an iron fist and all you whities should be their slaves.
ReplyDeleteWhat a vibrant piece of street art. Pete CTO has a real talent for using color to make a mural feel alive even from a distance. Great find so close to home.
ReplyDeleteAs far as I am concerned they ARE all Australian citizens. The mural is beautiful.
ReplyDeleteFirst time I hear of this artist, but he's very talented. Beautiful mural and beautiful colours. Thanks for participating in Monday Murals Andrew.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful mural. And I immediately went on to read more about Louisa Briggs. Very interesting
ReplyDeleteA gorgeous and eye-catching homage!
ReplyDeleteI love the color; so beautiful.
ReplyDeleteFunny that today, both you and Debra [https://shewhoseeks.blogspot.com/2026/05/monday-murals-leonard-cohen.html] chose large scale murals of faces.
That story combined with the headline from Alice Springs today is especially poignant to me.
ReplyDeleteThe decorative pattern below her face, and the colours, remind me of our $10 note. Why not put Ms Briggs on a future note?
