Here’s some of the information I have compiled related to the 2003 Semi-Permanent Graffiti & Street Art Exhibition in Sydney, Australia. If anyone has more info, please share in the comments below!
The best info I have ever found about the mural was on the now defunct Banksys Forum:

“ok, I’ll make the Banksy story as short as I can… we flew Banksy out here for an exhibition that I ran in 2003. rather surprisingly (even for back then) the man turned up. he then proceeded to create a massive collage piece on some panels that we had put together for the exhibition. all up it measured about 2.5m high x 9m long. suffice it to say that this was quite possibly the biggest Banksy piece ever made (probably even bigger than the billboards he has done). the exhibition happened and was huge. we then took the panels down.
now, i wont to jump in here and mention that putting the exhibition on had been a HUGE nightmare for loads of different reasons that i wont go into. so by the time it finished we were so sick of everything to do with it that we wanted to get rid of everything and forget about it all.
so, we put the Banksy panels on Ebay selling them for around A$300 each. yes that’s $300 (i can hear the gasps and laughing about now). one of them actually didn’t sell, and, here’s where you’ll laugh even harder, got destroyed when a mates Dad rebuilt their house and used it for God knows what. another mate of mine has one of the panels so is sitting on quite a little earner. as for where the others are, I have no idea, obviously sitting in some very lucky peoples houses. we tried not long ago to get them all back for an exhibition (not to make money) of the whole piece but got no replies. who can blame them.
[RGB Note, I never received any inquiry about such a reconstitution of the piece! I’d love to be a part of that. Until recently I lived the same address to which the piece was directly shipped from Semi-Permanent.]
so there you have it. obviously it goes without saying that if we had kept the whole thing we cold probably ask all the Banksy-slaves for millions for it. and some poor fool would pay. but we didn’t and as they say hindsight’s a bitch so I kind of feel like an idiot sometimes and couldn’t care less most the time 
and to add insult to injury, Banksy was nice enough to do me an original piece on a small piece of board that was left over and then some [insert swear word] stole it at the exhibition. if this ever surfaces I will hunt them down and beat the culprit with a baseball bat. if your reading this, i am NOT kidding.
plus, he handed me a bunch of prints and, no really liking his work, i left them lying around the office where some got damaged when it flooded. backdoor or not, they were given to me by the man himself ”

I was at this exhibition it was crazy. My husband worked at the hardware store up the end of the street and served several of the artists in this show while they were getting material to construct it – including Shepard Fairey and probably Banksy as well.
Banksy’s installation was supposedly a homage to his father who was a photocopy repairman (if you can believe that, but that’s the story from the exhibition opening anyway) and there was a big photocopy machine, which I am guessing he did most of his prints on for this show. I have a print of the Grim Reaper (which is also on your panel) from this exhibition.
Hi Astred –
Interesting about the father homage! Thanks for sharing that!
