In 2022 the corner of Riversdale and Cooloongatta roads, Camberwell, was transformed with an eye-catching new mural entitled ‘Snapshots’.

About the artwork

This beautiful artwork, created by Melbourne artist duo Creature Creature (Chanel Tang and Ambrose Rehorek), pays homage to Camberwell’s community life. 

The mural depicts snapshots of the local shopping precinct, the natural environment and community members. The artwork also highlights the local architecture, particularly the art deco-style buildings typical to the area. 

Creature Creature has used their distinctive style to design a contemporary illustrative mural for everyone to enjoy. 

“We aimed to depict a variety of things so everyone could enjoy it, and many people have their favourite sections,” say Ambrose and Chanel. “We hope the mural fits seamlessly into the environment and really highlights the beautiful and hidden details of the area that make it unique.” 

This mural was delivered as part of Council’s Graffiti Management Strategy, aiming to discourage vandalism and enhance local amenities.

We hope you enjoy discovering the many elements of this mural and how it adds vibrancy to the local streetscape.

About St Dunstan’s Anglican Kindergarten 

St Dunstan’s Kindergarten is a warm and inviting kindergarten with strong ties to the surrounding community.

St Dunstan's offers an extended Pre-Prep/Kindergarten program where the children come four days a week. There is an extensive outside area with opportunities for exploration, areas for physical activity and is well shaded to be enjoyed all year round.

The program focuses on encouraging children to be actively involved in their own learning, with the ability to determine areas of interest and exploration. The intergenerational program encourages connections between the older members of the community and the kindergarten children and families.

St Dunstan's commitment to learning about sustainability and the environment has led to the introduction of a “Bush Kinder” program and regular outings from the kindergarten to explore those natural environments that are situated close to the kindergarten. 

Find out more about the centre's staff, programs, facilities and philosophies on the St Dunstan’s Kindergarten website.
