Tales from Yarloop’s Boiler

Inspired by ideas shared by Yarloop residents, this mural celebrates the town’s rich history and unique character, bringing together elements that hold special meaning to the community.

Historic imagery of the Yarloop Mill, No. 71 ‘Menzies’ locomotive, a steam whim hauling timber and the former Yarloop Railway Station sign reflects the town’s strong connection to its timber and railway heritage. These historic scenes appear alongside favourite local native birds, including the Carnaby’s Black Cockatoo, Western Magpie and Silvereye.

The warm colour palette is inspired by timber, the local landscape and the boiler itself, allowing the artwork to complement the historic structure while celebrating Yarloop’s heritage and identity.
