Main street murals a salute to history
1 min read

MARILYN Cumming’s latest murals are sharing the story of Inglewood’s history of early settlers, the gold rush and the eucalyptus distilling industry.
She unveiled the murals on the facade of Inglewood IGA with Carol Canfield, a descendant of the Coutts who settled at nearby Brenanah in the 1850s.
Marilyn has previously featured Inglewood identities and locals who served in World Wars One and Two.
Her new salute tells the story of gold discovery in the district and the new rush to Inglewood that saw more than 16,000 people living in tents while searching for gold.
The Taig family’s role in eucalyptus distilling over more than 100 years also features on the new murals.
“There’s so much history and it’s good to use the murals to tell these rich stories,” she said.
