Wall to Wall Street Art Festival Benalla 2017

Very belatedly I am posting about the Wall to Wall Street Art Festival in Benalla 2017. This year we were delighted to be in town all the week-end so we saw all the works in progress. 

It is a fascination to see these artists working on such large walls, and often up on a forklift. Their methods of getting their work started on the walls, as well as the different methods of applying the paint show amazing skill.

For me, the most fascinating was the realization that from just looking at a photo on a mobile phone these talented people could create a giant picture in perfect perspective.

The crowds loved watching the street art appearing before their eyes. In this blog I shall post photos of the works in progress and the festival fun surrounding the event. The next blog post will show the finished results. Wow!

Not all the works were big this year, some small and quirky things appeared around town as well.































Many of the artists worked into the night to get the work done in time.










By day the crowds could sit and soak up the atmosphere, by night the hubs turned into venues with food, drinks and live music.









In my next post I will show the end results of another fantastic Wall to Wall Street Art Festival in Benalla.

Singapore - day 4

Our flight home was at 9.15 pm so we had a little time to explore some more. We took the brown line route on the Hop On bus and also spent some time around Chinatown. Just for something different, we had Japanese food for lunch!






Travellers Inc. first big overseas Event was very successful. We all learnt a huge amount about Sri Lanka and I think it would be fair to say that for most of us, our knowledge of Sri Lanka was limited pretty much to cricket.

Henry was right, "You go for the animals"  & no-one will ever forget the elephants, but we were also fascinated by the ancient history and archaeology, the World heritage sites, the Hill Country and the tea plantations and the turtles.

All the resorts / hotels were excellent and the buffet meals were sensational.




No meal was complete without a visit to the cool room!

If you are thinking of going to Sri Lanka then contact Lotus Holidays in Sydney &/or Jetwing in Sri Lanka. I can fully recommend both companies.
