May Lane in Newtown, Sydney
Here is the second batch of my photos from my self-guided street art walking tour around Newtown, Sydney. These photos focus partly on May Lane, Sydney’s smaller answer to Melbourne’s Hosier Lane. The pieces aren’t as impressive as the ones in Melbourne, but they are abundant and colorful.
A mural in the Newtown area of Sydney
Sydney, like Melbourne has areas that are filled with awesome murals. Newtown, a neighborhood in the west of the city, is particularly known for its street art. I took an afternoon to walk around and take some photos. There were dozens of amazing pieces, including some by well known artists Peque and Crisp. I was disappointed though in the disrespect shown to the art – lots of murals were covered in scrawls and notes. I haven’t seen that to such a high degree in any other city.
