Acclaimed Gippsland artist Ray Thomas painted a mural on the wall of the new rail bridge in Apex Park. It features the Avon River as its theme, as chosen by Stratford locals. Ray is an award-winning artist with more than three decades of experience. His works are inspired by the stories and designs of his Gunaikurnai people, as well as the Gippsland country they call home.
The mural honours the Brayakaulung clan and their connection to the Avon River. It features Gunaikurnai ancestral totems and cultural practices including scarred canoe trees, stone grinding grooves and bush foods.
