By the Zookeeper A single wall mural that shows the care and compassion that helped the people of Cloncurry face the devastation. “While visiting Burke and Wills I had a number of conversations with people in the region and they explained their wish to focus on the care that a farmer has for their animals. During the floods many farmers were criticised for not having ‘done more’ to save their animals, a deeply traumatic criticism to hear and one far from the thoughtfulness and consideration that goes into raising animals. This work touches on the nurturing aspect of cattle farming, depicting a farmer rescuing a poddy calf from the flood waters.” ~ Joel Fergie, 2020 Location: Burke & Wills Roadhouse
