With lots of regular tours not back in operation yet I was pleased when a friend asked me to join her on this Frankston Street Art Walking Tour. It is certainly one of the first outings I have done in a while since being cooped up due to the COVID 19 restrictions.
The walk felt quite safe as it is conducted in small groups and is all outside. And our guide certainly reminded us all of social distancing and had hand sanitiser at the ready.
The tours which run roughly every fortnight starts outside the Frankston Library and as the tour attended was on a Sunday, parking was a breeze. Not the case during the work week I believe.
There were around 30 possible murals to see on this walk. Many were tucked down little alleyway like the ones in the Melbourne CBD. I won't mention all the artworks we saw as it would spoil all the surprises but I will mention a few that caught my fancy or the eye of my camera.
Surrounding the library were some remarkable Alice in Wonderland artwork by Brigitte Dawson and Melissa Turner from Melbourne Murals. What must have been drab walls now feature all the strange and zany characters from this classic tale including the Mad Hatter, Alice and the White Rabbit.
The walls have been painted Trompe l'oeil style, so it looks as if you can follow the white rabbit straight into a magical world that is also dank and green and filled with ivy.
Bookings are online or EFTPOS and cash bookings are accepted at the Frankston Visitor Information Centre at 7N Pier Promenade on the Frankston Waterfront.
The Street Art Walking Tours starting point is also only a short walk from Frankston Train Station.
