Art trail uncovers river country

Each town tells its own story — in vivid colour, powerful shapes, and bold imagination.

MOAMA

The striking water tower mural sets the tone for the trail.

Painted by the renowned artist Twoone (Hiroyasu Tsuri), the mural, titled Blue Crane and Friends, celebrates the town’s deep connection to nature and cultural heritage.

Inspired by Yorta Yorta stories, the mural features the white-faced heron, locally known as the blue crane, a bird of great significance to the Yorta Yorta people.

MATHOURA

Spanish artist Dulk’s Guardians of the Murray highlights the region’s rich ecosystem and the delicate balance of its environment.

His mural showcases fantastical elements — unicorn horns, diamonds, and a vivid palette — symbolising the adaptation of animals facing human impact.

BARHAM

Mural by Australian artist Gus Eagleton, renowned for his vivid realism and storytelling through portraiture, captures the essence of Barham through three striking silhouettes.

These represent the town’s red gum heritage, pioneering families, ANZAC legacy (featuring George Rathbone), and enduring connection to the Murray River.

MOULAMEIN

Visitors are invited to experience its newly painted water tower, brought to life by renowned muralist Heesco.

The mural is divided into three sections: the first celebrates the natural world and environment; the second pays tribute to the region’s agricultural richness; and the final section, in black-and-white and sepia tones, reflects the town’s history and heritage — from the ‘Big Tree’ and court house to the Mooloomoon Shearing Shed.

TOOLEYBUC

The River Country Art Trail reaches its sculptural crescendo with Gathering the Bounty — a striking 11-metre artwork by nationally acclaimed artist Stuart Green.

Installed beside the Murray River in Mensforth Park, this towering figure represents the Riverina as Australia’s food bowl.

The River Country Art Trail is proudly supported by the NSW Government.
