The sand­stone mur­al was dis­man­tled after it sus­tained dam­age in a storm in 2008. After the removal of the mur­al, there was a strong com­mu­ni­ty push to save the art­work, includ­ing a peti­tion with over 100 sig­na­tures. In the end, sal­vaged sand­stone was used for the low­er por­tion of the wall and block work for the remain­der, with the mix of colours select­ed to resem­ble as close­ly as pos­si­ble to the orig­i­nal colours and design. John New­land was respon­si­ble for the stone­ma­son­ry of the orig­i­nal mural.
