Many a country town paints their walls with murals in an attempt to make their drab surroundings tourist worthy, so I treated the idea of the murals a Bowen with scepticism. However when I saw them I was very pleasantly surprised. There were lots of them and all lovely.
I especially like the one with the ladies in their 1920s outfits.
ReplyDeleteHowever been that dressed up in the field seems a little odd to me.
DeleteShe looks like she has her tennis outfit on!
DeleteThat's certainly an interesting take on the mural. Bowen seems to have a few tourist attractions these days.
ReplyDeleteIt seemed like a very lovely town to me. A nice spot for a holiday.
DeleteLots of interest here Joan ....good to see the towns-folk make an effort for the tourists.
ReplyDeleteI reckon the locals would enjoy them too.
DeleteThat's an interesting type of mural. Bowen, haven't been there yet.
ReplyDeleteI'd I thought you'd been everywhere!
DeleteNo way! Haven't been to Mt Isa, Winton, Birdsville, Airlie Beach or the Great Barrier reef in a glass bottom boat.
DeleteWell we get a few of those into this trip and just might do the rest next year because we loved our Qld tour so much this year.
DeleteThese are fabulous. Looks like a very interesting trip.
ReplyDeleteIt was an interesting trip .... can't wait for next year when we will venture to a warm place again, perhaps more of inland Queensland.
DeleteI've seen many a dodgy mural in country towns.
ReplyDelete(I'm sure there could be material for a blog there!).
Reminds me of the poor Spanish woman who "restored" the painting of Jesus.
Have you seen it?

Yeh, I heard on the radio or TV recently that it has become a tourist attraction.
