A wall panel comprising a supporting structure and at least one covering member, the supporting structure having at least one integral supporting member adjacent the at least one covering member, wherein the supporting member has a first side portion extending beyond the at least one covering member and a second side portion immediately adjacent the at least one covering member, a receiving area being defined between the second side portion and the at least one covering member, wherein a first wall panel, a second wall panel and a third wall panel can be sequentially connected, such that the first side portion of the supporting member of the first wall panel is receivable within the receiving area of the second wall panel, the first side portion being complementary in shape to the second side portion such that the first side portion of the first wall panel engages the second side portion of the second wall panel, the engagement restraining relative movement of the first and second wall panels in at least one direction and the first side portion of the first wall panel locates against the at least one covering member of the second wall panel, the at least one covering member restraining relative movement of the first and second wall panels in a second direction;
- and the first side portion of the supporting member of the second wall panel is receivable within the receiving area of the third wall panel, the first side portion being complementary in shape to the second side portion such that the first side portion of the second wall panel engages the second side portion of the third wall panel, the engagement restraining relative movement of the second and third wall panels in at least one direction and the first side portion of the second wall panel locates against the at least one covering member of the third wall panel, the at least one covering member restraining relative movement of the second and third wall panels in a second direction, wherein the supporting structure includes two opposed supporting members.
