Broady

The outer Northern suburbs are different to the rest of Melbourne. Dry, residential, urban and a very high proportion of migrants. Broadmeadows is often tainted with the low socio-economic negatives, but the towns reputation is changing. There is a reoccurring trend in city suburbs; gradually suburbs are being gentrified. Eventually this affluent wave will probably move out to Broadmeadows. More info on gentrification http://www.theage.com.au/victoria/spotting-the-next-hip-hub-20121110-294l1.html. The graffiti here is very good.

Melbourne's Biggest Legal Wall?

In Ferntree Gully next to the petrol station is the largest organised legal wall in Eastern Melbourne. Back in 2011 many artists from big name crews like AFP, SDM, ADN, MDR and SR painted this wall. Practitioners  Askm, Perch and Dvate paint routinely, related pieces repetitively. They use similar structure and adjust colours, backgrounds, 3D from piece to piece. There is a state of the art, level of skill when you've repeated a piece with a similar style over and over again. This wall and other legal walls inspire artists from the suburbs. It gives them a range of styles to help create new ideas and letter-forms.
