The mural has a couple of bush men, possibly loggers, enjoying the company of a selection of native Australian animals and birds. On the left there is a magpie, a kookaburra, and what may be a bandicoot.
On the right of the white-bearded gent (in the centre of this mural) who is reading the "Weekly Times" newspaper is a female kangaroo with a joey in the pouch. By his foot a koala (looking more like a stuffed toy) appears to be stirring the boiling billy.
On the right-hand side is a side view of a dark-bearded gent enjoying his tea in an enamel mug. Behind him, standing in some sparse branches above his swag roll is a Blue Wren. While beside him is a wombat, and a wallaby just the other side. A male Lyre Bird is 'strutting his stuff' below a "Corella" - a smallish type of cockatoo.
The painted signature at the bottom looks like: D. Leversha
