Yep. Melbourne has some great commissioned street art. I love Larry Latrobe, the Three Businessmen, the Public Purse and the one out the front of the State Library - Ex Libris?

We've come a long way since Vault.

Ace things about Melbourne

* Brunswick Street

* It has a lane named after rock band AC/DC and a swimming pool named after a Prime Minister who is believed to have drowned at sea
* Its vibrant multiculturalism
* Royal Botanic Gardens.
* Shady Caroline Street in South Yarra
* The disco balls hanging above Rankins Lane in the city
* The domed reading room of the State Library.
* The eucalyptus trees and old lamps beside the river near Fed Square.
* The huge mural spanning the length of the side wall of Dimmey's discount department store in Green Street Richmond
* The laneways, especially Degraves Street and Centre Place.
* The old terrace houses in the inner suburbs.
* The Royal and Block Arcades.
* The street art (commissioned and otherwise).
* The Victorian architecture, especially the interior of 333 Collins Street, the Olderfleet Building and the Melbourne Safe Deposit Building on Queen Street
* The view of the city at night from the Swan Street Bridge.
* The Windsor end of Chapel Street
* There's always a festival or major event happening.
