A Leadbeater’s Possum and Powerful Owl – Mooroolbark library
Painted at the end of 2023 by Jimmy Dvate but last week was the first time I actually saw and photographed them.
Because of the disruptive road works in Montrose between now and ‘early 2025’ (replacing the beautiful roundabout with traffic lights….least said about that the better!) I’m now using Mooroolbark as my ‘local’ .
Other walls were painted at the same time – hopefully I’ll get to them soon.
They really do look better when enlarged – so much more detail is visible

They are truly delightful – and your are right about the detail when embiggened.

That owl has a close eye on Mr. Very Big mouse.

Looks that way doesn’t it Joanne. The possum is not very big at all , about 30cms

Wow! That is very impressive indeed. It must be even more amazing when seen in person.

I enjoy taking part Sami – sadly haven’t been near any murals recently. It’s a great link up for featuring world wide free street art

They are large, covering both the walls. And the eyes are enormous

He’s a fabulous looking one isn’t he Charlotte, due to various reasons they are becoming a ‘threatened’ species

Most of the time they’re in the shade, this was a lucky day when there was some light to emphasise the features
