This striking artwork is more than just paint on a wall—it's a moving tribute to the dedicated CFA volunteer firefighters who risk everything to protect their towns from the ravages of fire.
What makes this mural even more special? The artist behind it, Mike Larkin, isn't just an observer—he's part of the story. A proud local and a member of the Tatong Rural Fire Brigade himself, Mike has poured heart, soul, and firsthand experience into every brushstroke.
The mural features real-life members of the Tatong brigade, honoring their courage and commitment. Despite delays from the pandemic, wild weather, and scheduling challenges, the project came to life over four determined months—an artwork forged with the same resilience the CFA is known for.
Whether you're passing through or planning a trip, make sure to stop and see this incredible tribute that reflects the true spirit of rural Victoria.
