At least that is the claim for this artwork in the Eagles Meadow Shopping Centre. The statistics are: 17.5 metres in diameter, 240 square metres, 82 segments each 1 metre by 3.5 metres, 86 litres of paint, hand painted, 972 hours of painting by 246 people. Painted by Lead Artist - Katy Webster, Artists - Julie Davies, Lucy Howarth, Pam Webster Haulfan Centre, Victoria Primary School. Quite an amazing piece of work when viewed from the first floor balcony. (It was not possible to photograph it 'head-on' because of the reflections on this very wet day).
