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:770/0*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. Check out more of his work&nbsp;<a href="http://www.mikshida.com/" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">here</a>.</p> <p>That would be thanks to the guys at&nbsp;<a href="https://www.firstcoat.com.au/" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">First Coat</a>. Coordinating street art festivals, art talks and workshops, First Coat have injected colour into this once sleepy town and given it the creative pizazz it so desperately missed when I was growing up.</p> <p><a href="https://medium.com/splatrs/toowoomba-street-art-map-8a9f44e830ab"><strong>Click Here</strong></a></p>
