THE THIRD MURAL
Augathella, aptly named the 'meat ant' country, has unveiled their spectacular mural in the third water-tower art piece added to the trail. Capturing the great pioneering spirit of the Outback, this mural boasts brilliant colours that tell the tale of our stockmen, our bullock teams, and our beautiful natural landscape that is iconic to the Augathella region.
