day five - beginning the grouting

Grouting the mural, is the process where you cover it with a cement like substance and rub it into all of the cracks, Then you spend a considerable amount of time cleaning the cement off the artworks and tiles.

The deer park mural is a collaborative effort of 

Brimbank Council

Deer park Pharmacy,

Gallery Sunshine Everywhere

St Peter Chanel School,

Deer Park North Primary School

and 

Deer park West Primary School

The mural is made of ceramic features made by 640 community members, set in a background of mosaic.

The mural celebrates the history of Deer Park and was officially opened on December 9, 2014

The mural is located in the arcade next to Deer Park Pharmacy, in the Deer Park shopping strip on Ballarat Rd.
