The World Wide Warehouse is on the corner of Easey and Budd Streets in the Collingwood area of Melbourne. It’s not actually a warehouse now, it’s the home of PBS 106.7 FM radio. The lower part of it is covered with posters for events as well as a lot of street art and graffiti. A lot of the paper pieces are peeling away or torn.

The side of World Wide Warehouse, a two storey brick bulding that is quite long. The lower level is cover with graffiti and street art except where the windows are

Surrounding the CitiPower Collingwood power substation at the corner of Easey and Wellington streets is a large monochromatic mural. It is by Juddy Roller (a company specialising in street art and graffiti management) and it involved collaboration between street artists including Rone, Adnate, Mayo, Guido Van Helton and Askew.
