A Decade in King Street

Once a lesser east-west partner of Hunter Street, King Street gained functionality, and considerable notoriety, as a city throughway in 1973 when it abutted Parry Street after carving its way through Birdwood Park.

This gallery covers roughly a decade of street art from 2005 on.

With derelict structures out of the way, new vistas of the inner city became briefly accessible, as did large inviting walls to creatively vent upon.

Is that another effort from the ubiquitous AMF?

Resistance is never futile.
