Northcote Koori Mural, Aboriginal mural in Thornbury, Australia.

The Northcote Koori Mural is a large artwork on a free-standing wall built for it at the edge of the Sir Douglas Nicholls Sporting Complex on St Georges Road, Thornbury. The original painted panels were replaced in December 2013 by a restored digital print copy.

The mural was created between 1983 and 1985 by art teacher Megan Evans and Aboriginal elder Lin Onus, working alongside trainee artists. It underwent restoration in 2013 using digital printing technology to maintain its visual content.

The mural takes its name from the Koori, the Aboriginal peoples of Victoria, and belongs to the Aborigines Advancement League, which commissioned it. It reproduces drawings by Tommy McRae and William Barak and includes a scene of the 1970s Lake Tyers land rights campaign, tying the wall to Victorian Aboriginal political history.

The mural is located opposite the Aboriginal Advancement League building and is easy to locate from the street. Visit during daylight hours to fully appreciate the color details and artistic elements on display.

The artwork features political statements about Aboriginal incarceration depicted through men wearing neck chains, based on historical photographs from colonial times. These visual elements directly confront viewers with difficult historical realities.
