Distinguished and Famous people from Seymour
🎨 Russell Drysdale
Russell Drysdale gave Seymour an enduring place in Australian art through Moody's pub, painted in 1941. The work was based on the Royal Hotel on the Hume Highway, although its sparse setting and unhurried figures can suggest a much more remote outback town. Drysdale's humour lies in the ordinary gathering and its quietly exaggerated atmosphere. The National Gallery of Victoria acquired the painting in 1942, its first purchase of his work. A familiar roadside hotel became part of the country's visual memory.
🏉 David Mundy
David Mundy grew up in Seymour and began playing for St Mary's in the district junior competition at eight. He progressed through the Murray Bushrangers before moving west to join Fremantle. His first year in Western Australia included a WAFL premiership with Subiaco, followed by an AFL debut in 2005. He won Fremantle's Doig Medal as the club's best-and-fairest player in 2010. An early club profile records the striking durability of his start: his first 124 AFL appearances were consecutive. The long professional career began with junior football in Seymour, even though his strongest senior club association developed on the opposite side of the country.
