Street Art Cities

This pair of enormous murals were painted on the Facade of Melbourne Polytechnic in early 2017 by Reka One, as part of the 'Paint the Polytechnic' Project. The artist began his street art career in Melbourne and returns every now and then from his new home in Europe to add to the city's streets. Here he has painted a kookaburra in a gum tree (reminding locals of the well-known song "Kookaburra sits in the Old Gum Tree") and a Rosella amid gum flowers. The murals are easily visible from High St, just around the corner from trendy Chapel St.
