Why travel all the way to the Louvre in Paris, when you can take a tour of the wonderful Murals of Kurri Kurri ?
There's no doubt that Archaeologists will, one day in the distant future, stumble upon these masterpieces and be dumbfounded by their brilliance...in fact, many people today are rendered speechless when they first view these masterworks
Cream of the crop
My personal favourite would have to be a toss up between the miners face and the bar/pub scene
The miners face is about 10 storeys high, leering down at you as you commute up the main road. It looks like an old lady's fanny with a hard hat on.....
The Bar/Pub scene is special in that the artist has no idea of perspective, and so you have big people and little people right next to each other..like some creepy nightmare..and the figures look like thalidomide vitims..(I suspect the same artist has done the one at Abermain and the one on the Church too)
Good on Kurri for giving mentally challenged people the chance to represent their artistic talents!
So what's your favourite Mural?
