Melbourne Street Art - Hosier Lane

Melbourne street art is an Instagrammer’s dream.

If you follow me on Instagram, then you’ll know this to be true. During my week in the amazing city of Melbourne, Australia, we discovered many an alley way and building wall with a piece of incredible street art painted on it. I do love a city with good street art.

We made a bee line for Hosier Lane, the famous little cobbled street in the CBD where every inch of the place is covered in art (we did spot some other impressive artwork in other places throughout Melbourne, too). Here’s a couple of my favourites from Hosier Lane:

“I laugh at the way some people think graffiti is all selfish tagging and vandalism. Thoughtful street art is like good fiction – it speaks out on behalf of everyone, for us all to see.” – Carla H. Krueger

If you’re in Melbourne any time soon, then I highly suggest you take a wander down Hosier Lane. It’s right near Federation Square down by the river and Flinders Station. Pop it into Google Maps or just take a stroll; it’s in the Federation Square block, but on the other side of the road. You’ll find it. The street art down the lane will be different to what I’ve shown you today, as I suspect it’s in constant stage of flux. If you don’t have time, though, never fear! There’s plenty of Melbourne street art to go around, and you’ll spot it pretty much everywhere you go.

Have you been to Hosier Lane? Spotted any awesome Melbourne street art?
