Muttaburra

After delays from cyclones and floods I finally made it back to Mutttaburra, Centre of Queensland. This time I installed a mural for the Dr Arratta Museum display. I began work on the panels in my studio over summer and had a challenging time due to the paint not drying in consistently moist weather on the coast. Completing the panels once installed onsite in outback Queensland to experience the issue of the paint drying before I could get it off the brush in super dry conditions! Despite delays and challenges i’m happy with how it turned out and compliments the space. If you’ve never been to the Centre of Queensland it’s a special place where dinosaurs once roamed, on the land on Iningai peoples and the rivers meet. There’s also plenty of cool fresh air and hot artesian bore water in winter and friendly locals all year round.

It’s always nice to be back in the Burra. Muttaburra means “meeting of waters” and is situated on Inagai land in the Centre of Queensland. The Muttaburrasaurus was also the first of the dinosaur bone discoveries in Queensland. I have visited numerous times since working with the school back in 2012. This time I installed 2 custom hand painted signs for the motel and completed the western side of the former butcher shop.

I headed to Muttaburra from Winton and completed the front of what was once a butcher shop. I applied a faux aged look and kept the design simple to let the architecture feature. These old walls certainly have plenty of character.

It was great to be back in the Burra, Muttaburra the Centre of Queensland and home of the Muttaburrasaurus. This visit I worked with the local Rural Fire Service and applied a mural on their station roller door. The artwork turned out great and I just wish I could have stayed longer as theres plenty more public art in the pipeline so I’m very much looking forward to returning soon.

It’s been far too long since I’ve visited Muttaburra in the Centre of Queensland and great to see the town looking good. As usual there was plenty of friendly locals who made me feel very much welcomed. It was also a pleasure to add to the long list of public art in town with this mural at the Memorial Hall. Thanks to the Muttaburra Community Development Association and Queensland Remembers for funding and Barcaldine Regional Council for supporting the project.
