Surry Hills Street Art

Corner of Little Riley and Sophia Streets Surry Hills Street Art

Surry Hills Street Art

Surry Hills in central Sydney is a great place to go and discover some great street art. Very easy to get to via public transport, most of the sites can be seen with a one hour walk. On the way, stop at a coffee shop to relax and take in the sights.

Getting There

We used the Light Rail L2 (L3 also takes you there – we took the one to arrive first), which runs from Central Station. With a stop on Devonshire Street (called Surry Hills), you start opposite one of the artworks.

The Art Work

Some of our favorites are shown in the photos below. The statues of the rabbits drinking coffee on a moped are at the café we stopped at. Walking around, we also liked the old Federation style terrace houses in the side streets.

Big Picture Festival 2022

by Goya Torres

Big Picture Festival 2022

The Big Picture Festival 2022 in Newcastle New South Wales added ten beautiful murals to the city’s streetscapes. Sponsored by the Newcastle City Council, the event continues to add to an already impressive collection of street art.

The council produced a downloadable PDF with the location of the latest additions which also includes last years murals in case you missed them (see our post here).

We parked near Civic Park on King Street and then walked a roughly circular route taking in all of the new works. With stops along the way and a break for coffee, it took around one and a half hours to walk. If you wanted to see the older works it would probably take over two hours.

This was a fun and easy walk and a great way to see the centre of Newcastle and it’s buildings.

Katoomba Street Art

Street Art Katoomba

Katoomba Street Art

An unexpected find while walking through Katoomba were three areas of street art. If you’re looking for something else to do in the Blue Mountains besides admiring the views or bushwalking, this is a great option.

Beverly Place

The first, located in Beverly Place, is by far the largest, with pieces ranging for a few metres to full side-of-building size. We parked in Waratah Street and walked around the area. Most of the art work is located at the rear of businesses. In this area the businesses park their trucks and cars so there is traffic coming and going all the time. Also be aware that the paintings are on private property, but still freely accessible to admire.

Froma Lane

Running off Katoomba Street, Froma Lane is a pedestrian walk way full of street art. We found this one walking back to our car after dinner at one of the restaurants in the main street.

Waratah Street

Located opposite the entrance to Beverly Place, we found these paintings when we parked our car.
