Richleys Reserve Mural by Mel Carrall | Street Art NSW

An artwork on the Richleys Reserve amenities block which shows both a nature representation of the reserve and a historical aspect, including when the area was renowned for its coal mining. On the left are several birds enjoying the ponds found within the reserve as a coal mining track runs past. On the right is a greyscale depiction of the coal mines and industry. A portrait of Joe Richley appears in the centre with some information.

Richley Reserve was named after Joe Richley. In 1934 Joe Richley was instrumental in acquiring the land which formed the basis of Blackbutt Reserve.
