Toowoomba Street Art Map

<p>If you&rsquo;re from Australia, Toowoomba is likely one of the last spots you would ever think to go and explore for fun. Those who grew up there and left (that&rsquo;s me) once vowed never to go back, and those who&rsquo;d only heard of it through others knew enough to keep them from ever bothering to go.</p> <p>It was boring!</p> <p>So how on Earth did this sleepy town, which until only a few years ago was known for nothing more than The Carnival of Flowers (*yawn*), come to be one of Australia&rsquo;s must-visit street art spots?</p> <p><img alt="" src="https://miro.medium.com/v2/resize:fit:700/0*xNfDacS9wJbFCeZ1.jpg" style="height:560px; width:700px" /></p> <p>Amazing piece by&nbsp;<a href="https://splatrs.com/tag/shida/" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">Mik Shida</a>&nbsp;at the top of Ruthven Street.
