Belconnen's favorite penis shaped owl!

Look closely! Do you see it? It's probably not what Bruce Armstrong intended when designing his owl tribute for Belconnen but this sculpture, one of Canberra's most prominent BIG Things, has been nicknamed 'The Penis Owl' It's simply titled 'Owl' though and it was created in 2011 based off the Australian Powerful Owl Ninox Strenua. The BIG owl is positioned in the middle of a median strip on the Corner of Belconnen Way & Benjamin Way. Parking's a bit rough for this area so I'd strongly suggest parking at 6 Ware Pl, Belconnen. It's a 30 second walk to the sculpture and a safe place to park.

Christmas Break - See you next year!!

It's that time of year again and I'm putting the finishing touches on the annual interstate Christmas road trip. We leave on the 14th of Dec and should get back home around the 13th of January 2025 where I'll resume a long over due catch up from last years road trip. This years trip will be a special one. I didn't appreciate street Art when i went through South Australia back in 2018 and get to make up for that this trip. Thanks to the incredibly hard work of Calli M & especially Briggs Jourdan, fellow Street Art Cities contributors, I have an amazing Adelaide map full of content to follow This years migration consists of 416 items - 18 painted water tanks - 7 water towers - 13 Silos and roughly 378 street art locations. 243 of those belong to Adelaide itself. I've had limited time to prepare for this trip so extra thankful for the help. I look forward to somewhat catching up next year Merry Christmas, Megan

Chermside | Bastian Allfrey

Bastian Allfrey Chermside Plaza is home to a few small peices. I didn't do much exploring, If I'm honest I found these on my way to the little pub they have. I know the above wall is Bastian Allfrey but don't have the foggiest who created the two artworks below. I'm aware Vexta has a mural within the plaza. It's not either of these two walls but it's possibly her work minus the splash of fluro.
