Fitzroy Melbourne Murals for Mural Monday

 




Having learned that walking may serve not only as exercise but also as a gentle aid to muscular recovery, I resolved to take a stroll through the streets of Fitzroy—a suburb renowned for its walkability and rich artistic heritage. As I wandered amidst its laneways and thoroughfares, I passed beneath the storied murals that adorn its brick facades, each a testament to the suburb’s longstanding tradition of street art, born in the countercultural movements of the late twentieth century. These vibrant expressions seemed to echo the rhythm of my steps, weaving history and healing into every stride.

  6. A couple of the characters look like they're based in a vague sort or way on Disney characters.

  8. Cualquier lugar parece bueno para mostrarlos, aunque en algunos falte una parte de la pared.
