2017, mural, Lake Macquarie Urban and Public Art Collection.
Located on the corner of Glendale Drive and Maple Street, Glendale.

Elliott Routledge, aka Numskull, is a contemporary Australian artist known for his largescale public art installations. 

The Little Big Thing celebrates the identities of Glendale and Cardiff with an explosion of colour and form. Working within a limited but striking colour palette, the work borrows contemporary and historical elements from the area such as native flora and steam trains and transforms them into an bold, graphic artwork.
