Art and About



Imagine walking to the train station
And along the way you can see the Olgas
And an idyllic beach
And a hundred years of history marching through the tunnel
On the other side of the station an old steam train comes rushing out through green fields peppered with yellow flowers
Outside the fish and chip shop herds of seahorses swim in a blue ocean 
And it is nice that someone took the effort
To paint murals around your suburb
The council made an effort to make it nicer
Prettier
Deter vandalism
Art is everywhere if you look closely enough
I have often walked down this street before
And now it sings in technicolour arrangements 

(murals were painted by Robin Martin and commissioned by Ashfield Council. The Underline Project is also an initiative of Ashfield Council)
