Overlooking Bargara's stunning coastline, one can find one of the quirkiest, yet most spectacular amenities block ever laid eyes on. Connecting the passionate people who call the Bundaberg region home, the incredibly diverse ecosystem, and rich Indigenous culture, the block's colourful walls are filled with mosaics created by those in the community and beyond.
Inspired by the breathtaking region, local artist and Project Facilitator Paul Perry, along with over 200 people from across the community, Australia, and overseas, spent a whopping 6,200 hours and 100,000 tiles creating this incredible artwork.
With over 220 individual handmade mosaic fish and marine wildlife sent in from around the world, the Fish Tales wall is truly awe-inspiring. From colourful reef fish to inquisitive dolphins and even a few mysterious creatures found in the depths of the ocean, uncovering the stories behind these mosaics is just the start of an underwater adventure in Bargara's backyard.
Working with Project Facilitator Paul Perry, the fish were curated by local artist Adrienne Williams onto an underwater reef design by Julie Hylands.
