Minyama artwork site with local artist Zartisha Davis

The green box along Nicklin Way (Jessica Park carpark) is going to be transformed with a mural celebrating connection and togetherness.

Stop by and say hello to Zartisha if you see her working between Thursday 19 June and Thursday 3 July 2025.

About Zartisha's mural

Zartisha will create a powerful design to represent Kabi Kabi Country, particularly Sea Country and the story of the Shell Middens. The Shell Middens not only represent ancient remnants of her ancestor's diet but also represent community, gathering, food and language, and caring for our country.

Zartisha has used ancestor symbols to represent the ancestors watching over all of us that live, work and play on Kabi Kabi Country. She has also used kangaroo symbols to represent kangaroo lore which is the totem animal for Mooloolah clan, watering holes and the Mooloolah River.

Bray Park artwork site with local artist Dan Krause

The pump station along Francis Road in Bray Park is going to be transformed with a mucal showcasing the vibrant local wildlife in the Moreton Bay region.

The community voted on their favourite design and Dan will be onsite from Wednesday 3 July.

Each creature depicted has a special connection to our community and environment, reminding us of the natural beauty that surrounds us every day.

At the heart of the piece is an abstract blue swirl, representing the vital connection provided by water. It's a thread that ties nature and community together.

Completed artwork site at Bongaree with local artist Jayda Bruce

The green box along the Bongaree foreshore (opposite 47 Welsby Parade) has been transformed with a mural celebrating Bribie’s hidden wildlife.

About Jayda's mural

This mural celebrates the native carnivorous mammals of Bribie Island – species that are often overlooked or mistaken for something else entirely. Many people don’t realise that these remarkable creatures live right here among us, quietly playing vital roles in the island’s ecosystem.

What are the animals?

Featured in the mural are three of Bribie’s native carnivorous marsupials: the brush-tailed phascogale, yellow-footed antechinus, and the common planigale. These tiny hunters are vital to the health of our local environment, yet many people have never heard of them – or may mistake them for common rodents.

Jayda’s artwork aims to:

• showcase the diversity of Bribie’s small native mammals
• inspire curiosity, respect and care for our local environment

Completed artwork site at Mountain Creek with local artist Owen Cavanagh

The green box along Karawatha Drive (on the roundabout on the corner of Golf Links Drive) has been transformed with a mural celebrating our Sunshine Coast beaches.

About Owen's mural

Owen’s mural is inspired by the stunning beaches of the Sunshine Coast.

Owen’s art piece has a colourful sunrise with blue skies and yellows and oranges reflecting on the perfect waves. He has added depth with a native beach tree including a pandanus and casuarina.

As a passionate surfer, Owen holds a deep connection to the ocean and its beaches, driving his commitment to protecting the unique wildlife both in the water and along the shore.

Owen's artwork invites you to:

• dream, and put you right on the beach at sunrise, with the golden light on the horizon and the perfect waves rolling in.
