Chandler Oak Mural

3m (l) x 2m (h)

Large painted mural, Oak tree theme. MDF central mural. Originally created in 2006 for a 'work for the dole' program (No artist identified)
In 2025 Council invited local traders, residents, and visitors to share their thoughts on the future of the Chandler Oak mural, located on the exterior wall of Rainy Day
Books (1301 Mountain Highway, The Basin).
The community was asked whether they would prefer to restore the mural and preserve its original design or refresh it with a more contemporary approach.
Survey results showed that 72% of respondents favoured a refreshed design, while 28% supported a full restoration.
In response, we engaged local artist Christian Vine (VEINS) to deliver a refreshed version of the mural that honours the essence of the original artwork while bringing a new creative energy to the space.
