The Aboriginal Health Lounge Courtyard at IPC Health in Wyndham Vale is looking much brighter thanks to Aunty Susan Kuhl’s new mural.
On Friday 28 November, Ms Kuhl’s Journey of Connection mural was unveiled at a special ceremony.
The mural has a top section that includes a crow, western grey kangaroo, wedge tail eagle, blue wren an emu, with a gathering circle in the middle.
Down below are more native animals and the handprints of members of the local area.
“It was a big challenge and my first ever mural,” she said.
“I drew up a rough sketch of what I was doing and with the bigger animals I gridded it out and free hand drew everything up the top.
“It was two to three months in the making up the top, but once I got into it went pretty quick.
“The emu itself probably took about 10 hours to complete… the paint I was working with dries really quickly, so I had to work pretty fast.”
