Tips from locals
In 1931 Italian artist Francesco Floreani was looking for work in the Bairnsdale area when a local priest offered him the job of decorating the interior of a church. Little did the priest know that 70 years later the murals Floreani painted on the inside of St Mary's church would attract thousands of visitors from all over the world.
During depression, Italian artist painted the interior of this church and it has recently been renovated. Well worth a visit to see a European masterpiece.
