The Mural was designed by Christine to introduce students to the landscape, flora and fauna of Australia and to create an illusion of space in our restricted site. Original watercolour plans, begun in February 1999, are displayed in the school library.

It depicts a variety of terrain; temperate, desert, salt lake, scrub, wetlands, escarpments and rainforest. Approximately 65 animals, birds, reptiles and insects are represented. The black granite boulders in front of the mural were generously supplied and carved by sculptor Silvio Apponyi.

The project was made possible through the continuous support and encouragement of the staff, students and school community and the generosity of numerous sponsors.

The mural was opened by the Hon. Dr. Michael Armitage, Member for the State Seat of Adelaide, Minister for Government Enterprise and Minister for Information Economy on October 20, 2002.
