MELBOURNE MOSAICS
On a recent visit to Melbourne I was amazed at the number of beautiful mosaics on display in this fabulous city.
There are several worthwhile walks throughout the CBD showing murals, floors, sculputres and more. You will discover heritage sites, religious splendour, iconic tourist images, restaurant interiors through to laneway graffit.
These tours will help you plan a delightful and educative outing. Enjoy! Maps can be downloaded here:
