We’re now in Mt Barker, Western Australia, and about half an hour from the south coast.
I did say I didn’t think I’d be posting any more murals but how could I resist showing you this one? Mt Barker has several outstanding murals and this is one. These kids are having so much fun. I don’t know if the magpies are just joining in or if they are dive-bombing the kids. Magpies can be quite vicious when they’re nesting.
We’ll be taking photos at a swimming carnival over the weekend. We thought it was going to be hot so Vince didn’t even pack a jumper. We went to a thrift shop and found something suitable for $4 so that was good.
In about an hour, we’ll go down to the pool and suss out where we can stand, etc, to take our photos. We do know that the participating teams will be doing a march past at 7.00am so we’ll need to be up bright and early.

You can certainly pick up some bargains in the thrift shops. I thought the mural was great too.

I will have to say, you Aussies sure do love your murals, which is not a bad thing at all. Wall murals are starting to become more popular here now, well at least in my city anyway. They are popping up everywhere now.

@JudyEv Even hoodlums, thugs and other bad people don't like to paint graffiti over murals. At least that seems to be the case here.

@moffittjc All the murals I've seen have been left alone too. Maybe it's a street artists' tacit code of conduct.

that is so cool. I suspect the innocent smiles are worth seeing this in person!

That mural (is that what you call it?) gives instant joy. I also want to go thrifting.

Yes, it's a mural. It's good fun fossicking through a thrift shop.
