I can’t possibly go to Melbourne and not take photos of the street art, which means that I can’t possibly not share them with you.
Croft Alley (off Little Bourke Street in Chinatown)
Hosier Lane…of course
The art in this lane is always changing. Sarah commented that it probably even has more coats of paint than we used to have in our old Castle Hill house – the family joke being that I painted the walls so often I reduced the square footage of the house…#whatever.
Somewhere in Chapel Street Prahran or Windsor…
Windsor Station
Artists Lane, Windsor
Okay, it’s Thursday so that means it’s Lovin’ Life Linky time. Add your post and share some of your happy…

Stunning! Some of the best I’ve ever seen
Thanks…and thanks for dropping by.
Very nice street art in Melbourne! They’ve become popular in many cities. I saw some really good street art in Chile. We also have a Graffiti Alley in Toronto. #lovin’lifelinky
Melbourne has so much of it and it’s constantly changing – which I love. I’m back down again in a few weeks and I reckon it will have changed again.
Seems like Melbournians have their own variety of Banksy. I like that some blank walls are decorated, especially in dark alleyways.
Melbourne has a fabulous street art scene. Every time I’m down I’ll come back with something different. I’m back down there again in a few weeks and I just know there’ll be something new to capture. As an aside, there used to be a small Banksy in one of the little alleys…
I was intrigued by this comment and have been looking up Banksy in Melbourne. Seems there were a number which have been gradually destroyed. Ugh! You can’t fix that up.
No, they were badly damaged. I remember seeing one of them – it was high up in the alley behind Degraves…such a pity.
oops, meant to put this link in: https://www.heraldsun.com.au/news/victoria/melbourne-banksy-tossed-away-by-builders-in-acdc-lane/news-story/ec968d4bec7567f0fff1eb0334a78077
Just tragic.
oooh. Really? I didn’t know that. I will have to check that out next time I am there. Where is that?
Wow Jo I love these photos and the street art is just amazing. What a great way to showcase artists and brighten up the city. I also love your photo in the side bar – looking gorgeous as ever! #lovinlifelinky
I just love Melbourne’s street art scene. I’m back again in a few weeks and I just know it will be different again.
what a fabulous collection of artwork. I do love street art – people are so gifted to be able to do these. Must track some down when I’m next in Melbourne. sharing.
I just love how you can find little pockets of fabulous everywhere down there.
I’ve not been to Melbourne for many many years (and have no plans to go anytime soon) but your posts keep reminding me that I’d have to look out for the street art. I mean, I think it’s in other places and I know in Maryborough (nearby) they’ve started doing murals on buildings, so guess it’s becoming more popular. A response to graffiti originally perhaps?
You’re very good at finding all the good street art around Melbourne. I’m gonna have to go visit these spots next time I’m there. I soooo love Melbourne … so much so that I think I was meant to be VIctorian … or something?! #TeamLovinLife
Oh, the shading is so dramatic in the first pieces you shared. Love the unexpected use of color for the contours of the faces. Beautiful.
So pretty! I wish I had art skills!!
I love Street Art!! What you have shown here is exceptional — especially the ‘blue birds on Windsor Lane.’ I couldn’t stop staring at them!
Jo, thank you for this slice of Melbourne. The street art is one of the things I love most about the city.

I loved seeing some of Melbourne’s art a few years back. This is lovely. Laughed at the paint on the walls at Castle Hill house!
