THE MARY CARROLL PARK TURTLES
 
This is the official name of a 3.5 meter long fabric mural designed by Alma Toomath and painted with 57 Aboriginal & non-Aboriginal artists aged 7 to 79 years. It was acquired by the City of Gosnells and installed as a permanent feature at the Don Russell Performing Arts Centre by Mayor Owen Searle on 3 July 1994. This event occurred in conjunction with an Aboriginal art exhibition held at the centre as part of the National Aboriginal & Islanders Day Observance Committee (NAIDOC) Week.
