Hawthorne Canal Community Artwork

alt

This spectacular mosaic at Lords Road - Hawthorne Canal tunnel has been created with many thousands of volunteer hours and a phenomenal number of small pieces. The story of the project is told in a short video by Katherine Buskariol. Officially opened in August 2011, the work was coordinated by Nola Diamantopoulos of the Studio of Spontaneous Creativity. The Lords Road Mural project is a joint initiative between Leichhardt Council, RailCorp, Kegworth Public School and IWEG.

Lords Road Mural

During 2006-2007 children from Kegworth Public School and volunteers from the Inner West Environment Group (IWEG) painted murals on the facades of the Lords Road tunnel under the rail corridor. These murals are free for everyone to see at any time of the day.
