I heard about the Wonthaggi Street Art after stumbling upon their FB page a few weeks ago, so we made a beeline for the colourful laneways whilst visiting over the Christmas break.
Durham Lane is a sight to behold, smaller and less grungy than Hosier, more bright and cheery, like a sunny day on the Great Barrier Reef.

I think these eyes were watching me walk along the laneway...

I really liked this piece depicting the nearby State Coal Mine, which we visited on a previous trip.
The street art project was put in place to curb local graffiti artists in a no-tag kind of plan. I'm sure it will also bring in tourists like myself, to Instagram it to bits and showcase its wonderful artists.
