2006 - 2007 D.N.L.C. - LOCAL HISTORY MURAL

          Funded by the Victorian Government - Local History Grant

          Doveton Neighbourhood Learning Centre

          1 Oak Avenue

          Doveton Victoria

This mural was to get the local community involved in creating a historical mural of the Doveton and Eumemmering district.

Local school children, local indigenous artists, community groups and members of the general public were involved over many months.   They researched their history, helped brain storm their ideas, contributed many drawings toward the final design of the mural.   Then they helped paint the 25 panels now on display at the centre.

          Funded by City of Casey

          Narre Warren North Primary School

          Narre Warren North Victoria

This project was to bring praise to their local hero Mr. Bob Street.   The children from the local primary school were involved in painting -˜Mr. Street' on a template.   This was later exhibited on the grounds of Parliament House in Canberra, ACT.

          Funded by City of Casey

The aim of this project was to create a landmark for the area and the fire brigade.   Members from the brigade, local school children and their community were involved in creating the design for the mural.  They then participated in painting the mural which is on display in the grounds of the Narre Warren North Fire Brigade.

This project was entered in the National Community Links Award 2000 and received a Highly Commended Award.
