John Dorahy completes his 10th Mural

The Kurri Kurri mural project which seemed like a pipe dream back in 2002 has become one of the most successful town mural ventures created by any town in the world.

The original plan to produce some five murals has now grown to 47 with the next three already in the planning stages.

John Dorahy of Newcastle has been an integral part of the project having completed his 10th mural the local pipe and town band mural on the eastern wall of the Kurri Kurri Community Centre. This is one of his best murals to date.

John’s 1st mural “Working Underground” is on the Chelmsford Hotel. Visitors are amazed at just how many murals have been painted in such a short time frame. When asked when will the project be finished the answer generally is when we run out of walls!
