Provenance: Shire of Augusta Margaret River
Description: Cowaramup means ‘place of the cowara’, referring to the purple-crowned lorikeets, a swift, screeching bird that can still be found foraging in the treetops.
The fast-flying birds can be difficult to spot but are often sighted in nearby karri forest, nesting in the hollows of old trees.
This magnificent, larger than life mural pays homage to the traditional owners of the land, the Wadandi people and their connection to country, animals and flora.
