STAGE ONE

Merbein’s Early Heritage

The first major installation, celebrating Merbein’s unique heritage, will be on the 112-metre wall of the old IPC building in Merbein’s Game Street (presently owner by Qualia Wines) — a massive canvas that will become a landmark for the region and re-vitalise our town’s image and economy.

The Heritage Mural to be painted on the wall of the IPC packing shed, Game Street Merbein.

It will depict Merbein’s story including:

  • Indigenous activities at Zoologist Blandowski’s camp at Chaffey Landing (1857)

  • Establishment of irrigation settlement E.J. Kenny (1909)

  • Early industries Dried Fruit/Citrus/Wine

  • Soldier settlement (1917)

  • Palm trees and township identity

  • Local identities and stories

THE ARTIST

Fintan Magee

We have engaged the talent of world renown mural artist, Fintan Magee, to paint this flagship installation, bringing international attention and artistic credibility to the project.

Fintan is available to paint later this year, so our fundraising window is short. This is an opportunity not to be missed and really achievable with your generous support.
