Sheffield, Tasmania, town of murals

Friday, 18 May 2012




Whilst I was in Tasmania, I visited Sheffield, town of murals. Many of the villages and towns make themselves distinct by labelling themselves with specialist tag-lines such as 'village of roses', 'home of the platypus' etc. This mural was one of my favourites - has a kind of Edward Hopper feel to it.


Everywhere in the town is covered with murals. The sheer quantity of them is impressive.









The town did have a Hollywood set wild west feeling about it, so I thought this one was apt. Which mural is your favourite?


Paradise is actually another town, but I'm sure any fellow English northerners will find this funny!
