-



In the heart of Kempsey, where the echoes of Slim Dusty's country melodies blend with the rhythm of world-class surf breaks at Crescent Head, a new artistic narrative has emerged. Nestled on the Mid North Coast of NSW, this iconic country town, once revered for its cultural heritage, now dazzles with vibrant laneway street art, a testament to resilience and creativity.

Thanks to a visionary council initiative and collaborations with local artists like the renowned Mural Artist street artist & graphic Designer INDO, Kempsey has transformed its laneways into pockets of artistic hope. Among these gems, the Savages Lane Mural Walkways have emerged as the crown jewel, capturing the essence of community spirit and creative expression.

Awarded both Laneway of the Year and Mural of the Year at the prestigious Australian Street Art Awards 2024, these artworks bear the unmistakable touch of INDO's talent. Each mural tells a story of Kempsey's past, present, and enduring spirit. From folk inspirations adorned with positive affirmations to iconic elements like guitars and Akubra hats, the murals celebrate the town's rich cultural tapestry.

One such masterpiece, nestled near the local Coles supermarket, pays tribute to the indomitable spirit of the Kempsey farmer. Through fires, floods, and droughts, he stands resilient, embodying the town's unwavering perseverance.

The Savages Lane Mural Walkways not only redefine Kempsey's landscape but also serve as a canvas of hope and inspiration for locals and visitors alike. Discover the allure of Kempsey through the lens of INDO's artistry—a fusion of history, resilience, and the timeless beauty of rural Australia.
