A mermaid-looking woman is painted on the wall of a new pedestrian underpass near Carrum train station. Part-sea creature, part-goddess, she is surrounded by pastel-coloured waves that swirl and crash into golden sandbanks.
She is an ancestor of the Bunurong people, says Adam Magennis, a traditional owner and lead artist behind the mural.
Indigenous artists Eamon Roberts, a Kamilaroi man (left) and Adam Magennis, a Bunurong man (right) painted murals at the Eel Race Road underpass, as part of a push to incorporate more Indigenous culture and art into the level crossing removal program.
