Murrurundi Mosaic Mural

If you’re travelling through the Upper Hunter and in need of a break, make time to stop in Murrurundi and visit the striking mosaic mural located along the New England Highway at Professional Row Park. Installed and created by the Murrurundi Arts and Crafts Council, this vibrant public artwork is a welcoming and informative feature in a park setting with amenities.

The mural tells the story of Murrurundi’s past through an engaging mosaic of tile and handcrafted ceramic pieces. Designed to celebrate the region’s rich cultural tapestry, the artwork offers a tactile, colourful interpretation of the events that shaped the town. The mural highlights local geology and key historic developments—from early European settlement and infrastructure to the township you see today.

Importantly, it also acknowledges the Traditional Owners of the area, the Wonnarua and Gamilaroi peoples, honouring their long connection to Country.

This is more than just a mural—it’s a tribute to a creative, community-minded town with a deep respect for its roots. Whether you’re interested in local history, community art, or just looking for a quiet place to stretch your legs, this mural offers an inspiring glimpse into what makes Murrurundi unique.
