Just amazing!

Our next award is for Best Community Art and the Bronze award goes to… MilBi Magic: Archie’s Beach Community Mosaics in the Visit Bundaberg, Queensland region.
This is one of the quirkiest, most spectacular amenities block you’ve ever laid eyes on! Connecting the passionate people who call the region home, the diverse eco-system, and rich Indigenous culture, the block’s colourful walls are filled with mosaics created by the Bundaberg community.
Local artist Paul Perry brought together more than 230 people, spending a whopping 6,200 hours to create this incredible artwork.
Milbi Magic is all about connection: to people, environment and culture. The Welcome Wall shares powerful stories of connection to Country, weaving turtles and sunrises between songlines of First Nations people. There are 220 individual marine creatures of the Southern Great Barrier Reef featured on this must-see art-traction.
Congratulations to Milpi Magic Mosaics, Bundaberg Regional Council, and everyone who participated in creating this beauty.
