Toowoomba Street Art Map
<p>If you’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’s me) once vowed never to go back, and those who’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’s must-visit street art spots?</p>

<p>Amazing piece by <a href="https://splatrs.com/tag/shida/" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">Mik Shida</a> at the top of Ruthven Street. Check out more of his work <a href="http://www.mikshida.com/" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">here</a>.</p>
<p>That would be thanks to the guys at <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>
