Dame Edna Everage is a fictional character, a flamboyant Australian housewife created and performed by the late comedian Barry Humphries. – Google
Dame Edna Place is a tiny laneway in Melbourne named after Barry Humphries’ iconic character Dame Edna Everage.

Dame Edna is instantly recognisable for her lilac-coloured hair, dramatic cat-eye glasses, love of gladioli, and her cheerful greeting, “Hello, Possums!”
This is a work by Matt Adnate. And like much of Adnate’s work, the mural feels personal and human. This single face can say more than an entire wall of colour.



I love that there’s a street named for Dame Edna 😀 Great art work too!
Are you familiar with Dame Edna? The street was opened in 2007 while the mural is just new and officially unveiled in 2026.
Oh yes, she was a huge star here!
