Cowala

Artist : Kim Staples

Location: 1 Comboyne Street, Comboyne NSW 2429

Description / Inspiration

Cowala represents the peace, serenity and abundance of the lush grazing lands of the mid north coast. The health and well being of the koala does not mirror that of other native and domestic animals. Loss of habitat and mounting pressures from an ever increasing population has resulted in a steady drop in the numbers of these beautiful marsupial ambassadors.
