Casuarina Square has joined forces with the Darwin Street Art Festival 2025 to bring two spectacular murals to life along Trower Road, painted by renowned Australian street artist Jordan Lucky. The bold new artworks feature the Nankeen Kestrel and Australasian Figbird—two native bird species that celebrate the rich flora and fauna of the region.

These birds are not only striking representations of the Territory’s natural landscape but also powerful symbols of freedom, vibrancy and connection—values that reflect the spirit of Casuarina Square and the broader Darwin community.

“Darwin is a street art city now. We’re excited to be working with Casuarina Square again this year to add more colour to the walls, and we hope you enjoy Jordan’s new work!” – David Collins, Director, Darwin Street Art Festival

Jordan Lucky, whose large-scale works have reimagined streets across Europe, Asia and Australia, returns to the Top End for his second consecutive year with the festival. Raised in Newcastle and immersed in art from the age of 14, Lucky is known for blending nature with urban environments through his signature use of bold colour and emotional depth.

“As someone who grew up hearing wonderful stories of Darwin and the Territory’s kindness from my father, to now be invited up here two dry seasons in a row is a gift! I’m up here doing what I love, feeling supported, bringing vibrancy and life through paintings of Australiana—it’s just so beautiful. I feel incredibly lucky to be working with Casuarina Square on another iconic project, and I can’t wait to add my colourful touch to the centre.” – Jordan Lucky, Artist

Casuarina Square’s commitment to fostering a creative, inclusive and distinctly Territorian space is at the heart of this project.

“We’re thrilled to partner with the Darwin Street Art Festival to bring these stunning murals to Casuarina Square. These large-scale works, featuring the vibrant Australasian Figbird and the majestic Nankeen Kestrel, celebrate our unique Territory wildlife and tropical landscape. Set against bold, energetic colours inspired by the Top End, the murals will transform Trower Road into a vibrant visual welcome for the community. This project is part of our ongoing commitment to create a shopping centre that reflects the spirit of the Territory—colourful, creative and proudly local.” – Elysia Billingham, Centre Manager, Casuarina Square

The murals are expected to be completed by late June and will remain a permanent part of Casuarina Square’s evolving landscape.
