In reply to LC. I will have to remember to look out for them when I visit Newcastle next time.

In reply to Josie. Yeah it did. There's some nice ones in Newy, too.

In reply to Pete. I can't remember the exact story, but it was a depiction of a historical workers riot of some sort. And yes, murals do help with the graffiti! Thanks Pete.

What’s the story with the one where the police are shooting at and beating up a crowd of people?!?!

The graffiti under that one shows a good side effect of murals – no one tends to graffiti over the top of them, even if there are graffiti vandals about.

In reply to LC. Haha! Did it have all the murals then? I don't think we got to Heddon-Greta. At least I didn't notice it or a drive-in.

Good old Kurri! I spent more hours bumming around there in my teens then I’d care to admit. I’m not sure if it’s still open, but nearby Heddon-Greta used to and possibly still has I think one of two drive-ins left in the state of NSW. Spent many hours at that place, too!

In reply to Carol Rice. Thanks Carol. Could be sooner than expected as it is pouring down here in Singapore. No so great for touristing, but good for writing blog posts :-)

Lovely Murals… especially liked the Scotsmen and Santa with the Kangaroos.

Look forward to your next Post from Overseas.
