One man's dreaming is another man's religion. The graffiti on the Mary Street wall is an interpretation of one of our indigenous 'dreaming' stories. Mostly these stories tell of man's relationship to the land and to the sky.
Behind the sandstone fence, is St Stephen's in Newtown which is a manifestation of the holy trinity on earth. The stories told within are of man's relationship with a god, in life and in death.

Note that this is the same intersection as yesterday, just from a different perspective. I am not sure what to make of the obvious fact that the animals are all going the wrong way. Or maybe the arrow is going the wrong way. Let's just call it 'creative dissonance'.

Must be anarchist animals. Nice mural.
It's gorgeous graffiti, Julie. I didn't notice that about it yesterday. Someone has put a lot of work, and more than a dash of talent, into these animals.

I like it very much too Julie, maybe it's what they call 'artistic license', whatever, I like the quirkiness of it!
Terrific mural but they appear to running the wrong way : )
Now that's what i call Bonza Street Art :-).
I just love the graffiti! It's so Australian, even an Ornithorhynchus was painted there. Fantastic!
Fabulous mural!
I like this sort of indigenous art.
Anything can happen in dreams, right?
The animals are going walkabout.
Well I am much happier with these images.
Love how the animals on the mural seem to heading the "wrong way".
The thinking man's graffiti. Some are actually not too bad.
