This engraving was carved into the rock by ‘cedar-getters‘ in 1886. Australian red cedar trees were so valuable that they kick-started a timber industry, in what is now the Border Ranges National Park in New South Wales.

This Street Art was done by Greg McDonald as part of the Southport Urban Art Project Gold Coast. I imagine they hope to emulate the drawing power of Hosier Lane in Melbourne. They certainly add some colour to the city.

Graffiti City

Melbourne is renowned for its street art. You don’t have to go far to see examples and it always seems to be of a certain standard. Maybe they remove anything which is not up to scratch. It is a pity Melbourne‘s construction workers are not so discerning as one destroyed a Banksy last month during a cafe renovation. More surprisingly it is not the first time Melbourne has lost a Banksy.

News Flash: We have just experienced a 5.4 magnitude earthquake in Melbourne‘s Eastern Suburbs. 30 seconds of rumble and shake but everything is still standing.
