Thirty-five years after it was first created, the much-loved 40,000 Years mural, opposite Redfern Train Station, is being conserved.

The Redfern Station Community Group (RSCG), in collaboration with the local community, have worked for five years to ensure the conservation of one of Redfern’s most important murals.
