The Mural design incorporates Mary Jane Rose, Mulwalas Grandmother. Mary was the local nurse and midwife, often walking to towns surrounding Mulwala to deliver babies for many locals. As the local nurse, Mary cared for the sick throughout the region before a doctor settled in Yarrawonga. Over three generations of families benefited from Mary's kindness, strength, and care.
