"In one of the world's great street art capitalS, proffers the Street Art tour, the city itself feels like a canvas. Commencing with the gig posters and majestic murals of Duckboard Place off Flinders Street, the tour's next stop is AC/DC Lane where a concrete figure of Bon Scott erupts through a wall. Hosier Lane- now mostly preceded by the words famous or iconic in everyday parlance- is the 'street art haven', and visitors are encouraged to Grab a seat at MoVida or Tres a Cinco and watch it unfold: Lisa King's female figure in Flinders Way, Centre Place's paste-ups, and Presgrave Place's small-scale works lead further on to Tattersalls Lane, and to Drewery Lane's mosaic and Melbourne Legacy Centenary of Anzac Street Art Mural. Mike Makatron's greening of an old electrical substation door is a highlight in Guildford Lane, and the tour ends in Blender Lane, the original location of Blender Studios and an epicentre of Melbourne's street art scene. Side trips to murals in Croft Alley, Meyers Place, and the Upper West Side Arts precinct (launched by the lord mayor in 2017, curated by Judy Roller in partnership with Far East Consortium and Citypower/Powercor) complete the tour." p. 181.
