Redfern, mural

This mural featuring Aboriginal art runs along the wall of the railway line, opposite the entrance to Redfern railway station, in the inner city suburb of Redfern. The word Eora means 'here' or 'from this place'. It was used by local Aboriginal people to describe to the British where they came from and so the word was then used to define the Aboriginal people themselves. 'Eora Country' is the name used to describe Central Sydney.

  2. I sense a person with a 'happy mind' painted that.

  3. Interesting how the mural graces the base of that iron fence. Almost as if there is something symbolic happening here.
