Brisbane - Spring Hills

These are some recent snap shorts of Brisbane.  Spring Hills is part of the Brisbane CBD (central bussiness district) located at the north side of Bristane.  Brisbane is the third largest city in Australia, there is a good Asian migrant community who choose to live here.  Its the third largest city in Australia, next to Melbourn and a lot quieter when comparing to Sydney.tvb now,tvbnow,bttvb9 }2 ?0 r" w& V+ ]!

Ah, there is a story to this:  Yes, there used to be a lot people defacing the city walls and open space with ugly or even rude graffiti,  so the local council engaged some of those who could do a good painting and called them street artists, they spray paint on these public space with some tasteful paintings, some of them are quite good.  I think among the graffiters, they have some mutual respect to each others work, if the painting is good, others would leave it alone.  So now even some private owner engage the graffiti painter to paint on their garage door so it won't get tagged with ugly signs.tvb now,tvbnow,bttvb( h4 Z/ {6 T* W6 t
I suppose it is one way of solving the problem.  A win win situation.

and No, they are not an organised gang, most of them are teenagers who are bored, some with better artistic skill than others, and most of them do grow out of it.  For the ones who are engaged to do the painting, its more for their personal pride than the monetary gain.7 n1 L3 \6 g/ _# K

There are still a lot of tagging on old building walls and bus shelters though, it does cost the tax payer a lot money to have them cleaned.  By the way, those who are caught doing graffiti, they are usually charged and ordered to do the cleaning up themselves.

Oops, there is an update to one of the photos, this is not a kangaroo sculpture at all, but it did look like a traveling kangaroo to me:
