A mural by Naomi King on Bird of Paradise Street in the city.
Near restaurant Bie de Buuf, a wall has been transformed into a large work of art. With her work, artist Naomi King refers to the rainforest of Papua New Guinea, which is under great pressure, and the women who play a major role in preserving local identity and nature. The painting depicts a Papuan woman as patroness of the local birds.
