In Murtoa, Victoria, a striking mural by artist Smug adorns the local silos, featuring 30 detailed birds inspired by the James Hill taxidermy collection at the nearby Water Tower Museum. A unique glowing bird among them symbolizes the 1 in 30 Australians affected by mental health issues. The artwork honors Dr. John Cade, a Murtoa-born psychiatrist who pioneered lithium treatment for bipolar disorder. Best viewed from Soldiers Avenue, the mural is illuminated nightly, offering a captivating display that celebrates the town's heritage and resilience.
