Cowara Mural

Image source Margaret River Art Trails

Artist: Brenton See

Asset Type: Mural

Year of Work: 2018

Location: Pioneer Park

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.

They are only found in Western Australia from Kalbarri to Cape Arid. This species is classified as Endangered, due mostly to the loss and fragmentation of their preferred habitat, which is heathland plants like banksia and hakea flowers, and fruit and nuts from larger eucalypt trees.
