day trip to Bendigo

Posted on January 16, 2016 by Mary C

There isn’t much street art in the town of Bendigo – or I was wasn’t in the right part of town. The five pictures below is all that I saw.

below: You’ve just been given the bird. Peace.

a white stencil on a blue wall, a dove in flight with an olive branch in its mouth. A hand and arm is made of the words "You have just been given the bird"

below: A supercalifragilistic stencil

below: Three women on walls.

Rose Carpark animals (plus more)

Posted on January 12, 2016 by Mary C

Rose Carpark is on Rose Street just west of Brunswick Street. In June 2014 many of the walls were painted with street art in a project by Graffix Creative. Many of the images are of animals although there is a lot of letter/text and a couple of murals of other things. Below is a sample of the animal murals…. with the last two images featuring animals of the human kind.

a car park with cars parked on either side, a wall (two storeys high) with a street art painting of a bird on it.
