Tatura - Mosaic Murals

Hi V ... Last week work took me away to Tatura, a small town in country Victoria, about 167 kilometres north of Melbourne. The name of the town is an Aboriginal word meaning "small lagoon".  A series of mosaic murals stand in the centre of the main street depicting the town's past, local identities and its vision for the future.  Cheers J.

  6. This seems to be the week for mosaic murals! The tesserae must be tiny. Yet the portraits are quite nuanced. Bravo to the artist. Thanks for contributing to Monday Mural.

  9. Joe, this is a lovely mosaic, very complex. I cannot imagine how long it took to create this one.
