The mural will be painted at the entrance to the Lindfield Village Green car park, next to newly-installed bike racks.

The blurred golden backgrounds are reminiscent of what your eyes do when we focus upon something that captures our attention. The birds and flowers are prominent within the surrounding bushland and give viewers a snapshot into the inhabitants amongst them.
