Northcote Koori Mural, Aboriginal mural in Thornbury, Australia.
The Northcote Koori Mural spans across a free-standing wall at the edge of Sir Douglas Nicholls Sporting Complex in St Georges Road, displaying Aboriginal art.
Created between 1983 and 1985 by art teacher Megan Evans with Aboriginal elder Lin Onus, the mural involved trainee artists Les Griggs, Ray Thomas, and others.
The mural includes reproductions of historical artworks by Tommy McRae and William Barak, depicting Aboriginal people and their experiences through detailed imagery.
Located opposite the Aboriginal Advancement League building, the mural received restoration work in 2013 through digital printing technology to preserve its content.
The artwork features political statements about Aboriginal incarceration, showing men in neck chains based on historical photographs from Australian colonial periods.
