A MURAL showcasing Wandong’s history was last week unveiled at the town’s shopping centre.
Originally proposed and planned by Wandong Heathcote Junction Community Group, the mural depicts Wandong circa 1900, with the railway, lumber mill and St Michael’s Catholic Church among many recognisable structures to feature in the scene.
Internationally acclaimed antiquarian horologist Vivian Kenney was brought on board to paint the mural, while Bendigo Bank, Wandong Wallan Lions Club and the Australian Rail Track Corporation, ARTC, provided financial assistance for the project.
Wandong Heathcote Junction Community Group secretary Allen Hall said the group’s proposal to install the mural on the town’s main street was rejected, however the owners of Wandong Plaza were happy to provide a space for its permanent installation.
The group thanked everyone who helped create and install the mural, which is located between Crumbs and Co and Costanzo Automotive Repairs.
