Description

This beautiful artwork is located along the Mid-Western Highway in the small, rural village of Caragabal in Central West NSW. It celebrates the unique local bird life at Caragabal and raises awareness of local threatened species. There is a distinct change in the landscape, soil and vegetation from the east to the west of Caragabal, which creates a terrific diversity in the bird species seen there. The Caragabal Bird Art was first envisioned by Cr. Phillip Diprose who was inspired by Camila De Gregorio and Christopher Macaluso, designers and birders who visit his nearby property to conduct bird surveys. When invited to speak to the children at Caragabal Public School, Cr. Diprose decided to pitch his idea to the students. They loved it.
