The Caragabal Bird Art Project

Taking flight in 2020, this beautiful artwork aims to celebrate our unique local birdlife and raise awareness of some of our threatened species. The birds included on the artwork are (left to right):

• Eastern wall: Cockatiel, Welcome Swallow, Australian Wood Duck, Superb Fairy-wren, Australian Magpie, Tawny Frogmouth, Eastern Rosella, Kookaburra, Noisy Miner, Bush Stone-curlew, Red-rumped Parrot and Masked Lapwing.

• Northern wall: Galah, Diamond Firetail, Grey-crowned Babbler, Superb Parrot, Wedge-tailed Eagle, and Sacred Kingfisher.

• Western wall: Swift Parrot, Regent Honeyeater and Glossy Black-Cockatoo.

The Caragabal Bird Art Project was first envisioned by Cr. Phillip Diprose who was inspired by Camile De Gregoroi and Christopher Macaluso; designers and birders who visit his local property to conduct bird surveys. When invited to speak to the children at Caragabal Public School, Cr. Diprose decided to pitch his idea to local students. They loved it!
