This eye-catching mural by talented artist John Murray Art is a must-see if road-tripping near Yetman, north of Inverell.

✨️🔭 Constellations of the South

🤩 Born from a brilliant collaboration between local artist Carl Merten, the late amateur astronomer Charlie Rudd of Uralla’s Phoenix Foundry, and the Uralla Arts Council - this project brought together regional sculptors to create works inspired by the circumpolar constellations visible in Uralla’s night sky.

❄️ Winter is the perfect time to visit, with crisp, clear nights offering some of the best stargazing conditions of the year. 🧣 Rug up and experience the magic of the cosmos come alive above these stunning works of art.

📍 The Glen, 1 Barleyfields Rd, Uralla (just off the New England Highway)
