Visitors to the town of Northam - located in the picturesque Avon Valley, less than 1.5 hours' drive from Perth – will now be welcomed by a stunning new mural displayed on the historic Northam Flour Mill. Designed and painted by Perth-based artists Amok Island – the work celebrates Northam's white swans and their home on the banks of the Avon River. Built in 1867, the Northam Flour Mill is a well-loved major landmark for the town, with historical significance as a pioneer industry in the district. The new mural is an addition to the handful already in existence, including the 38-metre high work painted across eight CBH Group wheat silos by international artists Hense and Phlegm as part of FORM's PUBLIC Silo Trail. In addition to these new attractions, over the past couple of years the town has welcomed the opening of boutique accommodation offering, the Farmers' Home Hotel; and a state-of-the-art Aboriginal cultural learning centre – Bilya Koort Boodja.
