Dudley House Garden Mural

Located in the heart of the View Street arts precinct, you’ll find a beautiful new artwork by local street artist Chris Duffy.

The artwork is inspired by local flora and fauna and includes crepe myrtle, ginkgo biloba, the native Bendigo Wax plant, Musk Lorikeet, Rainbow Bee-eater and Whistling Kite, among others.

All birdlife depicted are listed as inhabitants of the Bendigo Creek area, and the design also includes the endangered Eltham Copper butterfly and a White Wood butterfly.

The artwork is best viewed during daylight hours in the Dudley House garden, 60 View Street, Bendigo (the garden is accessible from the QEO car park).
