THE ESSENTIALS #15 - Psalm's Guide to Melbourne
Psalm's Guide to Melbourne
Some of my fave spots are (in no particular order):
"Misty" Bar - located in Hosier Lane, Melbourne City.
Very stylish bar and equally stylish laneway with plenty of stencils, posters
and other general creativity.The "Blender" studio - located in Franklin St, Melbourne City. It's an arts studio space shared by some of Melbournes finest street artists. always a laugh is to be had there.
"Brunswick" in Fitzroy - located just outside the CBD (Fitroy is a suburb), and as a whole is a pretty interesting place. There's plenty of bars, restaurants, clothes shops, book shops, etc. But Brunswick St is the main strip. Very eclectic mix of people and plenty of street art if you go for a walk around the back streets.
"Out 4 fame" - a free monthly A5 full colour mag that focuses on urban culture.
"Canada Lane" in Carlton (Carlton is a suburb) - Again just outside the CBD, has one of the best stencil galleries in town, and it's the longest running too.
The latest abandoned warehouse - Every month or so an abandoned warehouse becomes an unofficial gallery. The word is passed around and people head down to either have a look or put something up. The newest one has sprung up near the corner of Nicholson St and Moreland Rd in Coburg (coburg is a suburb). It used to be an old tram depot
"Banyule" trails - too hard to explain how to get to them. But if you're into bmx trail riding ask someone and they're sure to head you in the right direction. It has some awsome jumps and rhythm sections.
