Hat-trick of talent..

 

Was delighted to discover the new mural here on a drive through North Perth on Sunday. Inspired by the work of brilliant Indigenous photographer Michael Jalaru Torres  and freshly painted by gifted WA muralist and portrait artist Susan Respinger the mural is of Courtney Ugle, you can read her story HERE, a young West Australian Noongar woman who despite many challenges growing up is a successful AFL (Australian Football League) player and a positive inspiration to all. A hat-trick of excellent West Australian talent. Happy new week, take care and stay safe.. P.s. taken very early on Sunday morning is why it looks so quiet :)

  1. ...beautiful, but I thought that a hat trick was when a hockey player scores 3 goals in a game!

  5. You taught me something I never knew about! Thank you Grace.
    "Perth City is located in the ancient country of the Whadjuk Nyoongar people, who have been the Traditional Owners of the south west of Western Australia for at least 45,000 years."

  8. It's both serene and intense. In another context, we here could take it for Native American.
