Devenish Wheat Silo Mural

[green_acorn]

The small Australian community of Devenish in Northern Victoria commissioned an artist to produce a mural on the towns 20 metre tall wheat silo's of a WW1 nurse on one silo and a modern medic on the other, the result is amazing.

It joins a number of other silo's with community supported artworks here in Australia.

Hendo, saw this on the ABC news and it is a stunning accomplishment.

It turns out the "medic" on the left isn't actually a medic.  She was actually a RAAMC Medical Officer with the coalition force that went into Northern Iraq post Gulf War One to protect the Kurds.  The painting on the wheat silo is based on a photograph of her in the Australian War Memorial collection.

Mates,

• I could also ad a critical eye to the modern lady's uniform

Way to much green is used, when ours are more lighter, it reminds me of the British cam gear I was issue in the 80's when on attachment.

Happy New year

Steve,

I will pass that onto her.  I learnt a few months ago that it is my GP!  She has been my GP for the past eight years!
