About this location
The Percy Hobson Mural was completed in April 2021 by renowned Lightning Ridge artist John Murray, local artists Brian Smith and Bobby Barrett, Melbourne street artist Lucas Kasper and a crew of local Indigenous artists.
At the 1962 Perth Commonwealth Games, Percy Hobson became the first Indigenous athlete to win a gold meal at the Commonwealth Games for Australia. Aged 20 years at the time, Hobson took victory for high jump clearing the bar at 6'11" (2.11m), setting a new Commonwealth Games record.
