What started as a project to bring tourism dollars to a regional town has now spread across the country, with art subjects ranging from the native wildlife depicted in Newdegate, Western Australia, to the “Three Moon” legend illustrated in Queensland’s North Burnett region, and the primary school children immortalised in Coonalpyn, South Australia.

But a 25km drive south of Devonport lies a surprising discovery: Tasmania’s “Town of Murals”. The town is \u003Ca href=\"https://tasmania.com/points-of-interest/sheffield/\" target=\"_blank\"\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003ESheffield\u003C/strong\u003E\u003C/a\u003E, located in a dairy-farming region, and the first mural was painted in the 1980s to depict the town’s history and landscape. Now, some 600 murals colour the walls and buildings across town, drawing in tourists and artists alike. The town also hosts an annual \u003Ca href=\"https://muralfest.com.au/\" target=\"_blank\"\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EMural Fest\u003C/strong\u003E\u003C/a\u003E (3-9 November 2024), where artists compete in an outdoor, real-time painting competition, with the results showcased in the town’s Mural Park until the next festival.\u003C/p\u003E\n\u003Ch3\u003E\u003Cb\u003EUnique Outdoor Art Installations in Victoria\u003C/b\u003E\u003C/h3\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EDrive through Shepparton (190km north of Melbourne) and you might do a double-take when gazing out the window. Dotted around the region’s parks and public spaces are 90 life-sized cow sculptures, each uniquely painted with colourful artwork. Collectively known as the Moooving Art Cows, they were initially created by local artists to celebrate the local dairy industry. Subject matters in the ever-expanding herd range from apple crates (\u003Ci\u003EShe’ll be Apples\u003C/i\u003E by TANK) to Indigenous designs (\u003Ci\u003ESista\u003C/i\u003E by Tammy-Lee Atkinson) to weird and wonderful depictions of bacon and eggs. There are also pieces painted in the distinctive styles of Andy Warhol, Salvador Dali and Vincent van Gogh.

You won’t miss seeing the 4m-high \u003Ci\u003EOuroboros\u003C/i\u003E, a recent addition by Lindy Lee that allows visitors to walk into the sculpture that is lit by a series of perforations creating a natural light show.
