to Anthony Williams who designed the Rainbow Mural at San Remo Neighbourhood Centre. Over 90 people worked together to brighten their suburb's shopping centre and the walls of the Neighbourhood Centre. If you look closely you can see that on the sun's rays, it says 'Sunny San Remo' as that is how the people of San Remo feel about their community. The project was sponsored by Wyong Shire Council.
