Collingwood Mural Doors
Tim was here in Melbourne just a few months back, but it feels like a lifetime ago. Missing him and can’t wait for the next visit. But that’s not really what this post is about. It just ties in because we stumbled across these door murals in Collingwood while out for dinner and a catch-up…

Tuesday Streetart: Dimmey’s Richmond – 101
Dimmey’s clock tower in Richmond has been a local icon since 1910, standing tall through Melbourne’s changing times.

Stretching over 60 metres, it tells the story of Australia’s past—from gold rush days to pop culture moments. Thankfully, when…

The walls I wandered past
To be honest, I had no clue what to write for this week’s Live and Learn theme from Tina. I was drawing a complete blank. Then Sarah from Travel With Me suggested, “Why not talk about the murals you often post?” And I thought—yeah, why not? I always seem to find myself stopping for street…

Tuesday Streetart: Giant Spray Cans – 92
Before the earthquakes hit Christchurch in 2011, street art was mostly seen as graffiti or vandalism. But after the quakes, the damaged buildings gave artists a chance to turn the city into something more colourful and creative. In 2017, these giant spray cans were set up as a way to give artists a proper space…
Tuesday Streetart: Bronik – 91
I first discovered Bronik’s work on the streets of Barcelona in 2023 and was immediately captivated by her bold, vibrant style.
