On Sunday 16 June, George Populin and his family gathered at the popular Beach Road mural commissioned by George earlier this year to mark a special occasion.
The mural honours two of the Burdekin region’s most respected and influential residents, Maria and Demetrio Populin. The mural was commissioned by the couple’s son, George, to honour his parents following his travels in Italy to uncover his family’s history.
Last week’s gathering stood as a memorable event to express their love for Maria, Demetrio and their rich family history.
“The occasion was a gathering of our family to commemorate our gratitude to Maria and Demetrio Populin,” said George.
“They are very special to us all and will always be cherished in our hearts and memories.”
The Populin family proposed a toast in honour of Maria and Demetrio, and shared in a few drinks, and nibbles, creating the setting for a beautiful morning, with George expressing his sincere thanks to all his family members for making the event possible.
