Atyunpe – Perentie by Artist Dan Murphy

One of the striking larger-than-life works by Dan Murphy and installed in March 2015, is the sculpture of a perentie at the roundabout on Undoolya Road and Sturt Terrace.

The sculpture measures about 1 metre high, and 4.7 metre long. Originally commission in October 2013, contracted in May 2014 and more then a year in the making, this wonderfully conceived sculpture is a rust-coloured public artwork welded from recycled fuel drums with an anti-graffiti finish.
