Aramac

Returning to the centre of the universe, Aramac boasts stunning landscape, abundance of wildlife, a world class sculpture trail and friendly locals that love a yarn.

My services were engaged to pimp the Aramac Taxi *Not a real taxi, just a cool car that likes cruisin the 4726, good vibes and cold beer. Legend has it this this rally ready V6 was swapped for 2 sheep and escorted by alien spacecraft back to town whist doing 170km/h. I was more than happy to barter for an incredible vintage Foster’s sign for my collection to remember another awesome experience in Aramac.

I also completed finish line signage for the great folk at the Ballyneety Rodeo Club Inc at the Aramac Racecourse in 50 km/h gusty wind.

Aramac is home to the White Bull & much more. I always feel an authentic kind of wild west vibe here, so many local characters sharing yarns and I enjoy absorbing the epic landscape that surrounds town.

After a busy couple of weeks in Emerald I headed to Aramac. I only had a few days onsite but this short window allowed for the project to be completed prior to the Aramac Races on the 21st May since I have other deadlines for commissions on the coast in coming weeks.

I painted the entrance to a building at the racecourse named “Gerry’s” after a volunteer had put in a huge effort to constructing a kitchen facility from the ground up. This work coincides with other upgrades at club building anticipation for a big 2022 event.

Ive always had a blast in Aramac and I think of it as the wild west, others call it the centre of the universe because its conveniently located just up the road from Muttaburra the centre of Queensland. There was an abundance of sunshine, familiar faces, cold beverages and awe inspiring sunsets. I am very much looking forward to returning again soon.

It has been great to contribute to the brand new Aramac Motors. The shed has been transformed inside and out, decked out with the latest equipment to cater for all mechanical repairs. I had the pleasure of completing several hanpainted signs for the exterior, and a couple of murals. I always feel welcomed and relaxed in Aramac, although there was a deadline to meet, wind, piercing sun and rain I thoroughly enjoyed being a part of the new beginnings of Aramac Motors.

I also whipped up some new signs for the local White Bull Roadhouse whilst in the area.

I was kept busy again in Aramac with a number of commissions including a 140m long fence. I always enjoy the super friendly people, inspiring outback landscape and abundance of native flora and fauna. The Lake Dunn Sculpture trail is well worth the visit and I also thoroughly enjoyed my time at White Station Sacred Healing Circle.

Thanks to Barcaldine Regional Council for the opportunity, Aaron Skin for the drone footage and video expertise and Blurgg for the contribution.

No trip in Central Queensland is complete without a visit to Aramac. Known as “The Centre of the Universe” by some community members, I have had the idea for some time of creating this image, particularly since my first mural in Aramac was a galaxy inspired piece. I gave the town map a non-linear interpretation including items and attractions from surrounding areas arranged in the directions as you would see them standing directly in front of the wall. The other side was painted to serve as a backdrop for camp oven cooking which takes place regularly.

I also took on a couple of other commissions including a bedroom mural, a private bar area and a shipping container for Aramac Bowls Club.

I had a blast creating new works in Aramac on my CQ Tour, winter 2018. A week was way too short so I consider this to be continued soon.

Having completed my tasks at Gayndah, Miriam Vale, Tannum Sands, Gladstone, Blackwater and Emerald, my last stop on this Central Queensland tour was Aramac. When I was completing a mural at the school last year I was informed my skills were required for an upcoming event amongst other things to be painted around the town. Winding up the trip with plenty of artwork raffled at Hogs and Dogs event alongside the Toyota Landcruiser, a Pro Hart inspired mural and many laughs with friends, locals and travellers alike. I can't wait to live it up in sunny Outback Queensland again, I can see why some know this place not just as the centre of Queensland but the centre of the Universe.
