My name’s Tyson Savanah,

also known as Father Marker is my artist name

I'm a muralist from the Mornington Peninsula

Today we're at the

Warrnambool train station,

working on a three sided mural.

The point of view

as this mural is depicted

is someone sitting in the train,

looking out to the landscape,

linking it to PT

I thought was quite a clever idea

and sort of the train station.

The sense of arrival was greeted with,

you know, local rock bands

and the people who turned this

this town around with their music.

Everyone's been pretty positive.

People who come past here

every day, they see it evolve

and there's certainly

elements in the mural,

like the Lady Bay Hotel

and other people that they distinctly recognise.

Archie Roach’s daughter came past

and were quite stoked by the idea

of having their dad up there,

and blessings from that family,

which is amazing.

It's been an awesome experience,

and just coming out to Warrnambool

and chilling in the town has been really nice to.
