The 39th mural on the trail can be found on the wall of the Bearing Service Centre at 113 Richmond Street.
It celebrates the more than 30-year career of Alison Coleman who helped keep the CBD clean and tidy.
The Fraser Coast Regional Council described Alison as a great ambassador for the city of Maryborough, helping many visitors with directions and other important bits of information.

The mural has been named ‘Feather in the Hat’ and was created by artist Julie Davis.
Council took to social media to thank the Maryborough Mural Trail and Division 4 Councillor Daniel Sanderson for bringing the artwork to life.
Alison retired on her 70th birthday in 2018 after 37 years on the job.
