Exeter Public School Mural
Painted in 2022 by Sam Hall, this mural at Exeter Public School depicts a group of superb fairy-wrens set against a backdrop inspired by the shifting moods of the Southern Highlands. As Sam describes, “This mural represents the ever-changing climate in the Southern Highlands, from the icy mornings and bright blue skies, to the piercing midday sun, then the instant cool once the moon arrives in the sky.” The artwork captures both the delicate beauty of the fairy-wrens and the dynamic atmosphere of the region they inhabit.
Address: 47-59 School Ln, Exeter NSW 2579
