This is the BIGGEST Bark Picture in the World according to the Guiness Book of Records.  It is 9ft high x 40ft long.  There are 10 panels each 4ft wide x 9ft high.

Approx. 88 Brisbane members worked together for upwards of 61,760 hours to complete the work.  It's made from the bark of  Melaleuca trees (also known as paper bark).  All colours are natural in bark pictures, NO paints or additives.  The Melaleuca trees are unique to Australia.

We are looking to display this beautiful bark picture all around the country, if you can help with this please contact us.  It is free standing once put together.

The Art in Bark Association was formed in June 1973 by a group of people with aims of using Melaleuca bark as a medium for Australian bark pictures. The demand for bark from Melaleuca trees creates a demand for the supply of these trees by the artists.
As an organisation, the Art in Bark Association stands for preservation of our heritage. The making of Australian bark pictures is a unique practice by our members. Most of these members have Melaleuca trees planted in their own back yards. These trees shed their bark almost continuously the whole year around. Two or three layers can be collected without harm to these trees and members can obtain many permanent colours for their pictures. These colours include Grey, White, Brown, Red, Cream and Yellow.  No artificial colours are used in the making of a picture.
