When it came time to choose a theme for the massive mural that would capture a piece of Wonthaggi’s soul, the obvious and most cliched choice was coal.
Instead, the town’s business and community leaders chose a more appealing scene not usually associated with the former mining town: a white-eared honeyeater perched on a branch beside a yellow-tailed black cockatoo.
The artwork, which takes up the outside wall of a double-storey building, is part of a campaign to rejuvenate the Bass Coast town and its image.
