The Manor Lakes P-12 College graduate who now studies Interior Design at RMIT, used native flora and fauna to tell the tale of her upbringing in Manor Lakes.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>She shares her story below.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>\u201cThoughts I kept coming back to while making this were memories of what Manor Lakes looked like in 2008 versus 2020. Growing up directly in front of the undeveloped areas, I was used to seeing the kangaroos on the other side of the river \u2013 one even ended up in my backyard! Hence the featured Kangaroo.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>Driving in and out of Manor Lakes, the cockatoo was another native animal I always saw on a sunny day on Ballan road. The placement of the cockatoo is also there to challenge the children to be active by climbing further up the rock wall; at the same time, invite parents into the external playground area and take photos of their children.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>When I think of a mural, I imagine fully covered walls with graffiti-styled art with a political message or art featuring a visually overwhelming palette of colours. In my mural, I wanted to capture the simplicity of living in this western suburb, along with its comfortable lifestyle and radiant familial energy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>The mural brought to life by Salad Bowl Art is a beautiful addition to Manor Lakes Central and will be the showpiece once it is unveiled alongside the new playground for the whole community to enjoy.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<h1><span style=\"font-size:14px;\">Artist: Calee flower<\/p>\n<p>Painter: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/saladbowlart\/\">Salad Bowl Art<\/a><\/span><\/h1>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Manor Lakes Central mural depicts native backdrop A beautiful mural depicting the native fauna and flora of Manor Lakes has&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":6766,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[12],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-9035","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-meet-your-neighbours"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/dev.build.optimodesign.com.au\/manorlakes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9035","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/dev.build.optimodesign.com.au\/manorlakes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/dev.build.optimodesign.com.au\/manorlakes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/dev.build.optimodesign.com.au\/manorlakes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/dev.build.optimodesign.com.au\/manorlakes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=9035"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"http:\/\/dev.build.optimodesign.com.au\/manorlakes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9035\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/dev.build.optimodesign.com.au\/manorlakes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/6766"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/dev.build.optimodesign.com.au\/manorlakes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=9035"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/dev.build.optimodesign.com.au\/manorlakes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=9035"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/dev.build.optimodesign.com.au\/manorlakes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=9035"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
