Bongaree artwork site with local artist Jayda Bruce

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

Stop by and say hello to Jayda if you see her working between Monday 16 June and Friday 20 June 2025.

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


Mountain Creek artwork site with local artist Owen Cavanagh

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

Stop by and say hello to Owen if you see him working between Tuesday 17 June and Monday 23 June 2025.

About Owen's mural

This once dull piece of Unitywater infrastructure will be brought to life, with Owen’s mural being inspired by the stunning beaches of the Sunshine Coast.

Owen’s art piece will have a colourful sunrise with blue skies and yellows and oranges reflecting on the perfect waves. He will add depth with a native beach tree such as a pandanus or 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.
