Kurri Kurri Murals 1

Last Sunday David and I went to Kurri Kurri with friends Sharon and Jack to take photos of the murals. Later we went out for lunch and it was a lovely day out.

Sadly though Kurri Kurri in the Hunter region of New South Wales, an old mining town, has suffered immensely since Covid lockdown. A lot of the shops are boarded up and it was so sad to see the little town so run down.

The murals were always quite a tourist attraction but, of course, during lockdown nobody could visit so the town has suffered.

I believe there are over 60 murals around town and all have a significance to the local area in some way or other.

Over the next few days I will be posting collages of some of the murals.
I have photographed quite a few of the Kurri Kurri murals - we drive that way often and it is sad to see how lonely looking it is now

I always enjoy your collages! And I like the murals! But it is a pity that the town suffered badly due to Covid.

Such wonderful murals and beautifully presented as usual. So many towns and tourist attractions have suffered all over the word, such a sad state of affairs.

Beautifully presented. Such lovely murals; no wonder they are an attraction.

Fabulous murals neatly arranged in your lovely collage. Sorry about the effects of Covid19 on the town but same thing went, is still going on, thoughout the globe.

Great mural.

yes a great tribute to aussie culture from the past - the only negative is that many of the young cannnot identify with some of the images seen

Lovely murals and collage

That must have been very sad to see Babs… you feel for the businesses that are struggling during this terrible time. We can easily forget us retired folk in our little bubble how hard a time so many people have found this last eighteen months.

The people of Kurri Kurri are not alone- and hopefully as conditions improve some will come back or new shops will come in. Nice collage.

These are really fun and probably have a lot of meaning to the local people. I love the drive-in movie theater.
June 11th, 2021  
These are fabulous. It must be a treat to walk around and see all of them.

Wonderful murals

Fab murals and captures.

The townspeople should create a mural tour with the story of each mural. These murals are a real treasure.

I agree with @k9photo - this story needs to be told and shared. Who knows what could come from the towns people sharing these stories.
