The messages and special drawings of rainbows, the sun, peace signs and coloured love hearts are truly inspiring and uplifting for many on their walk.

They have been seen on the footpath near David Wood Oval in East Bowral and on the path beside the dams located on the edge of the Southern Highlands Botanic Gardens.

Clearly some kind and creative character or characters have been busy spreading good cheer in what may otherwise be considered as a very tough time due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The sweet messages have even prompted conversation (at a social distance) between people, on their walk, who may otherwise have remained complete strangers.

We would love to know the identity or identities of the chalk artists, but if they choose to remain anonymous then please let it be known that your efforts are greatly appreciated.

However if you would like to reveal your identity we would love to share your story and motivation. You can do this by contacting jackie.meyers@southernhighlandnews.com.au
