Orbost Club Hotel wall mural demonstrates gratitude to emergency services and defence force assisted during the Black Summer bushfires
Mural on Orbost Club Hotel wall by Tracey Solomon as an artistic gratitude to the emergency service crews and defence force personnel.
Federal Member for Gippsland Darren Chester said, "Across Gippsland we've seen many talented artists produce huge works of art in public places," Mr Chester said. This mural by Tracey Solomon is an artistic thank you to the emergency service crews and defence force personnel who assisted during the Black Summer bushfires and it's good to see a local identity like Dick, included in the design. "I'm certainly looking forward to seeing the final work." Mr Chester said.
