State school mural restored

THE restored Carranballac State School (1841-1978) mural was unveiled last weekend at the Carranballac Hall.
Elaine Anderson (Graham), a former student of the former school on the Glenelg Highway, spearheaded the reconstruction of the 1964 mural, which had been created by students to commemorate the school’s 50th anniversary.
Years of wear and tear had left the piece in desperate need of repair.
Past students, teachers, and locals gathered at Carranballac Hall for the unveiling, including Carranballac’s oldest living former student, Harry Waldron, and Mary Forsyth, the original creator of the mural and a former teacher at the school.
