Murals
Murals on the walls of Jamestown’s
beautiful heritage shops tell the stories
of pioneers and early settlers, creating a
visual history of the development of the
town from 19th century optimism to the
diverse agribusiness centre it is today.
These heritage artworks are now
complemented by an outdoor gallery
showcasing murals painted for the
annual Jamestown Mural Festival. The
current festival murals are at the eastern
end of Ayr St, and other murals from
previous festivals are dotted around the
township.

Jamestown Diggers’ Walk
The beautiful gum trees lining Belalie

project known as the Diggers’ Walk.
Jamestown community members
are now working hard to recreate the
Diggers’ Walk, with letters, diaries,
photographs and stories to be featured
on signage, complemented by audio
posts.
