A brief life.
From Galah to Astronaut. Two years ago when I shot this space at the entrance to Wimpole Lane in Spring Hill, Brisbane there was a galah here. I believe that mural, unless defaced was quite serviceable but our recent visit showed that it had been overpainted and replaced. We start to get an idea of the possible longevity or not of some of these works.
The original Galah was by artist Drule but it still features on his website below. He is also responsible for the new work. Wouldn't be good form just to paint someone else's work out would it. But because I couldn't find any reference to this on his site or elsewhere, you get to make your own mind up about what it could be about and perhaps to think of a name! For the time being anyway.
I am hopeless at that sort of thing so I am not even going to try!
Here is the previous work

and here is Drule's website link.
