Overview

The alleys of Melbourne aren’t just painted - they’re alive. As a runaway artist searching for traces of your godmother, you find more than memories. One mural moves. A figure whispers. The street art of the city has awakened… and it knows your name.

In this self-guided adventure, you’ll explore Melbourne’s most iconic and hidden graffiti-covered laneways while solving puzzles that bring each wall to life. Use your phone to navigate the route, uncover messages left in the art, and follow a story of self-discovery, connection, and creativity. The city becomes your canvas, and every clue a brushstroke in your journey.

What makes this tour unique? It’s an interactive, story-driven quest that blends real street art with imaginative storytelling, transforming Melbourne into a living gallery filled with puzzles and heart.

Perfect for families, couples, creatives, and anyone who sees art as a doorway to something deeper.

What to expect

  2. Meyers Place Bar
    Pass by
    Originally known as Nicholas Lane, Meyers Place connects Little Collins and Bourke up at the top end of town. Selected as one of the pilot projects for the city's new Green Your Laneways campaign, the laneway's grey walls have been brought to life by green galleries, including a giant Mike Makatron mural, 'Jungle Funk'.

  3. Pass by
    Sited in Parliament Gardens, Coles Fountain is a striking counterpoint to its historical garden setting. Its stainless-steel tubing forms a geometrical frame some three metres high, from which water cascades into a shallow pool below. To 'enter' the C-shaped fountain is to be virtually encircled by a curtain of water. It is set on finished bluestone paving, which reflects the geometry of the fountain. The plaque reads: 'A gift to the people of Victoria from G.J. Coles and Coy Limited'.

  4. Pass by
    The Collingwood mural is now one of only 31 known murals across the world by Haring that have survived, and one of only three that hasn’t been significantly over-painted. In recognition of its local, national and international significance, it was added to the Victorian Heritage Register in 2004.

  5. Royal Exhibition Building
    Pass by
    Entitled “Never Enough”, the mural of RONE delivers one of his signature portraits combined with text that was painted by Wonderlust.
