The River Runs Through Travel Guide

Located in the heart of Merbein, 'The River Runs Through' is a dynamic art installation that captures the essence of the Merbein Common and its waterways. Created by artist Beck Storer in collaboration with The Cutaway and the Merbein Arts Group, this unique artwork is presented on the walls of a repurposed refrigerated storage shed, once part of a local juice factory.During the day, visitors can appreciate the mural's blend of traditional painting and digital printing techniques, which depict the rich narrative of the area's natural environment. As night falls, the installation comes alive with solar-powered lights, transforming the space into a vibrant and colorful display. The artwork has become a popular attraction, drawing tourists and fostering community pride.The project was largely funded by donations from local individuals and businesses, reflecting the community's spirit and appreciation for the region's natural beauty. 'The River Runs Through' not only enhances Merbein's cultural landscape but also serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving the Murray River and its surrounding wetlands.
