Mt Rouse has blown it's top again, but this time only in a painting.
Renowned artist "Big Art Ted" Horton has completed a mural on the barbecue shelter at the Mt Rouse summit carpark. The mural was commissioned by the Volcanoes Discovery Centre as a way of illustrating various aspects of the volcano to visitors. These include a stylised eruption and its impact on native fauna, and the meeting of Europeans with the Indigenous inhabitants of the region.
The painting is already receiving enthusiastic comments from locals and visitors, both Australian and international.

The new entrance to the Volcanoes Discovery Centre will be through the historic council chambers building, but it was in a terrible state. Today a working bee of volunteers set to removing old cupboards and opening up the entrance hall. This will provide a better welcome to our visitors once the redevelopment of the centre is completed.

Mt Rouse is receiving a new look with work beginning on a mural. The barbecue shelter at the summit carpark is the site for a new work by noted mural artist "Big Ted" Horton. Commissioned by the Volcanoes Discovery Centre committee, the work in three panels will draw visitors into the artistic aspects of the history of Penshurst.
Although the finished mural is yet to be unveiled, this photo captures the work being done by "Big Ted" while he is based at his camp near the summit.
