Iconic Freo..



Took these shots of the typically Fremantle scene painted in his distinctive style by local artist Shakey before we went to Sydney. There is a super video of the artist talking about the mural here. A collaboration between the artist, Old bridge Cellars and Gage Roads Brewing Co.it would be hard to squeeze in many more iconic Freo sights. The 'mechanical giraffes' in the harbour, the Dingo Flour Mill over to the middle left, there are so many details right down to a couple of bottles of the award winning pale ale 'Little Dove' cooling in the esky. A fence in the way made it tricky to take the shot, didn't want to leave Percy pelican out though :) Happy Tuesday, take care and stay safe..

  11. What a great mural. What talent. So Shakey has a tremor and thousands of dogs auditioned for the mural? Interesting video.
