Town of Murals

Yesterday Marnie and I took a trip to Sheffield - the Town of Murals - 40km away. Each year they have a Mural Festival.  We walked around town snapping some of the murals on the sides of buildings...
a Tassie tiger (now extinct) and Tassie devil


blacksmithing




Early days in the town with Mount Roland in the background...





More tigers...



Waldheim Chalet...
 interesting story behind the chalet, the man and the mountain HERE




 Not a mural...
the real thing...in the carpark


Outside one of the churches...





And no trip to Sheffield would be complete without a visit to...
the iconic Slaters Country Store


 







How appropriate that a mural for a vitality pill was on the side of the café where we had lunch...
a toasted sandwich and a coffee certainly 'revived' us



Hanging on the wall in the café...

A thought to take home!
