The mural above on the wall of the Freshwater Bay Museum in Claremont. Constructed in 1862 and originally the Freshwater Bay school, the first school between Perth and Fremantle. The mural below on the wall of the Farmshed in Goomalling in the heart of the wheatbelt region of WA. The same in that they both depict the history of their area and different because even back then Claremont was an affluent suburb close to the city and Goomalling (population 499 in the 2006 census) a hard working country town. Unfortunately there were no names on either! Happy new week, let's hope it's a good one.. take care and stay safe..
I appreciate this historical comments and the murals are both very beautiful - and easy on the eyes.

ReplyDeleteYour description made it easy to tell one town from the other, even without descriptive tags. What's amazing to me is that their relative status has remained unchanged after all these years. There must be an interesting story there. Thanks for contributing to this week's Monday Mural.
ReplyDeleteMarvelous murals! Thanks for showing them.
