Mural Project- Peace Park, Sussex Inlet
Sussex Inlet and District Community Forum’s secretary, Mrs Gail Drummond, in conjunction with local artists Kylie Douglass, Robert Simpson and Steven Douglass have been creating a mural based on the theme “Our History, Our Heritage”. Some of our students were able to contribute their hand and arm prints onto the background. These images will symbolically represent people past and present and our surrounding land, trees and forest. The artists have been working on their paintings inspired by historical photographs which hold a record of the history of Sussex Inlet. The mural is now complete and will go on permanent display in the Peace Park (near the cinema). The official opening of the Sussex Inlet streetscape and the mural unveiling took place on Saturday 13th July at 10.30am (the middle Saturday of the school holidays) at Peace Park, Sussex Inlet. Students who contributed their hand and arm prints were:- Jordan, Haylee, Aidan, Finn, Bridie, Hailee, Laini, Callum, Sarah, Ethan, Eden and Leevi.
