Historical Murals of Warburton
Behind the Waterwheel Visitor Information Centre, painted onto the historic Warburton Railway Station siding of the Warburton to Lilydale Rail Trail, are the Historical Murals of Warburton which celebrate the living history of Warburton. The murals are an open air display that can be viewed any time of the day or evening.
There are 51 hand painted murals, each one showcasing a scene from the history of Warburton over the past 150 years. Some of the scenes depicted include historical sites such as the Sanitarium building, The Alpine Hotel and recognisable shop fronts on the main street, while other murals show the history of the gold and timber era in the township and some of the faces and events that helped establish the town as the popular destination it is today.
Each scene has a QR code, that can be scanned to read more information about that scene (simply use the QR reader on your Smartphone) and a comprehensive brochure that is available from the Waterwheel. The murals have been sponsored by local community members and businesses.
Local artist Peter Van Bruegel commenced the project in 2012 and the official Launch of the Historic Murals was on 22 December 2016.

Great Steps of Warburton
At the front of the Information Centre is a beautiful mosaic known as the "The Great Steps of Warburton". The Great Steps represents a vision for Warburton to be known as beautiful, artful and edible. The mosaic, composed of more than 20,000 tiles, expands over 26 steps, each more than 5 metres in width. More than 300 community members contributed to the mosaic including local primary, secondary and VCAL students, groups from U3A, local traders, councillors and members of the public.
