Stop 5

The final stop on the tour is a piece that was commissioned by the council for the Boronia Recreation Reserve. The piece shows all the types of activities that occur at the reserve, from dog walking to Football. Before this piece went up this wall…

Blue Bar

Drinking has always played a major role in Australian culture. Renowned as heavy drinkers throughout the world, there is no doubt that Australians enjoy a few ‘bevvies’, for better or for worse. As major players in the Australian zeitgeist, drinking…

Something You'd Find in a Bedroom

Doesn’t he look cute – just relaxing on that ledge? Again another cement mold – this time of a cute little teddy. This one, like the first and the third, is not lacking in detail. You can clearly see the softness of his fur, even if you cant feel…

Hosier Lane

Given the great cultural value of street art and recognition of the movement, there has been great discussion in recent years to protect the art produced. In 2008 Australia’s National Trust along with Heritage Victoria suggested listing some of…
