This brilliantly bright mural is painted on the side wall of the Lord Mayor's country children's holiday camp in Portsea. The camp was established to provide holidays for children of the outback areas. Portsea is a seaside town on the Mornington Peninsula across Port Philip Bay.
When I saw this I was reminded of the song "Butterfly" written by the French singer-songwriter, Danyel Gérard. Click here to listen to the song. This is the English version I remember. This is the German version sung by Gérard.

Such lovely mural and camp house.
Happy weekend.
Nice to have you back! You have had your hands full, that's for sure. Glad that your grandkids are doing OK now!
I like the mural a lot. Bright and cheery - just the kind of art to bring a smile to children's faces!
It looks as if the children have had a hand in this mural. How wonderful. So good to hear all of the good news. Take a deep breath and be good to yourself. You've been through a lot.
The mural was painted by a local aboriginal woman, Bea Edwards, with help from friends. It was completed in the late 90s.
