Werris Creek mural honors railway heritage and ANZAC veterans

Artist Danny Stanley is creating a mural in Werris Creek to commemorate the town's railway heritage and honor those who served in the military. Located at the corner of Shingle Street and Anzac Parade, the artwork sits in front of the Werris Creek War Memorial.

The mural depicts a stopped troop train based on a 1942 photograph, showing locals waving to soldiers leaning out of train windows. The design aims to symbolize the thousands of soldiers who departed via rail lines during wartime. Although illness and weather delayed the completion, the project was funded by the local community to ensure the memory of the Diggers remains alive.
