Come explore the Melbourne Street Art with us! | Vlog | 

The guy you didn't know was Julian Assange. His name was painted next to him

Did you see the Royal Arcade and the Block Arcade in Melbourne? They're brilliant.

The guy at 12:00 is Julian Assange and you didn't find the Banksy

Hey Rob! Ali G (Sacha Baron Cohen) is well known in Australia, especially in Perth! He is married to an aussie women from Perth and he just moved recently from America to Perth. I managed to see him last summer on the beach 🙂

Ali G lives in Australia Isla Fisher and her husband Sacha Baron Cohen left Los Angeles to bring up their family in Australia and their new home in the actress' home country is stunning. The couple keep their three children out of the spotlight but Isla occasionally gives fans a sneak peek. Peace out.

Its a shame you missed Hosier Lane, its a stone throw from Flinders st Station and has the best street art as it is where it started. The council allowed graffiti in that laneway so people didn't graffiti where it wasn't wanted. You might have noticed that the artists are well behaved and refrain from painting over windows and signage. A word of caution though, do not stand still too long in Hosier Ln or somebody will likely spray paint you.

you should have went to Fitzroy and Brunswick, they’re inner city suburbs with so so so much graffiti and culture. Brunswick street and sydney rd have lots of shops on them and lots of graffiti in the alleys.

The art is always changing, especially in Hosier Lane. If you come back to Melbourne for another grand final, make sure you visit Fitzroy. Some of the best art is in that suburb, not only the main streets, but in a lot of the alley ways as well.

The 'log' art on the river bank at 4:20 are actually the old wharf pylons from the old timber wharves that were located there in colonial times. The pylons were recycled by being given to local artists to reinterpret, so they have a history relating to their location. They are located in Enterprize Park which has nothing to do with Star Trek but is named after the sailing ship the first European settlers sailed in from Tasmania to found the city in 1835. There is a replica of the Enterprize that does tours of Port Phillip and has a cannon that fires ... I have been a target. Fortunately only blanks.

@7:35: 'Ruined...' but THAT is the whole point of graffiti art. It's ephemeral; it's not meant to last. Just ask Banksy. You've seen that image in the way you saw it at that moment... and you'll never see it again.

12:05 Rob Rob Rob its literally written around it LOL Julian Assange

Your search for street art around Melbourne summarises the nature of it's attractions in general...... Not everything is obvious and sometimes it takes a little time and effort to uncover the gems around town. But it's worth it in the end. Like many cities around the world you need to spend a couple of weeks exploring the city and suburbs 😊. Some local knowledge always helps!

Your Samurai Dragon was the cover of Judas Priest's 1984 masterpiece "Defenders of the Faith" PS: Definitely a Hamster!

'Ali G' (Sacha Baron Cohen) is married to an Aussie, Isla Fisher. They actually live here now - W.A...& Sydney I think...

Your kidding aren't you, you don't know the world famous Australian Julian Assange WikiLeaks founder I will take it that you are being facetious even though the UK and US are determined to see him dead .peace out.

Obviously you know nothing about the mighty Judas Priest! That so called ninja dragon you saw on AC/DC lane is the cover art for their classic album Defenders Of The Faith 🤘🏻

12:00 Julian Assange, founder of WikiLeaks

You sounded like Manuel from Fawlty Towers..... "no Mr. Fawlty, he hamster."

12:00 That is Julian Assange, wanted by the u.s for exposing war crimes.

Not gonna lie, I’m from Melbourne and when you guys praise this city it does give me a sense of pride. It’s is a very cool place (admittedly I’m biased). Wish we had more warm weather but what you gonna do? 🙃

Until recently graffiti artists did not tag over others work. But I guess taggers are not really artists 😊

Street Art is everywhere around Melb. Ride on any train and there’s some great pieces along the line . Also some great artwork done on siloes.

This person you didn't know had his name beside the image, and here's another clue: he spent a lot of time as an asylum seeker in an embassy in your country. Still give up? Julian Assange.

The street art you couldn't name is Julian Assange. Oh someone has already told you 🙂

"It's built on the grid system" sorry Rob, the problem isn't the streets, it's you.

Ali G is married to an Australian Isla Fisher (home n away) pretty popular here as in other countries love that you're showing us bits of my home town that I haven't seen myself

What a brutal edit at the start there 😂 I understood Charlie perfectly well And also, I never really noticed because I mostly became a fan of yours just coz you were into footy, so I didn’t ever give that much thought to why I’ve stayed invested in your channel, but you’re actually a really good presenter Rob! It’s taken me seeing you in public with people in the background reacting with a bit of “are they filming something?” energy to remember that what you do, talking to a camera isn’t ‘normal’ even in today’s age (when you’re recording at home I take it for granted that you’re speaking to a camera, of course you are you’re vlogging). Just saw some gen Z girls at my gym film a promo for the gyms Insta and they were way less natural in front of the camera. It’s occurred to me that you do actually have that sort of quality and style that makes you seem like you’re properly recording a travel show or something in some of these scenes, not just being a random tourist recording a shaky phone video to show the family something when you get home. I have no idea if any of the motivation for you starting your channel was to do any professional work in front of a camera but if it was I reckon it would definitely be worth auditioning

That’s my fav Japanese place …I always go with friends after storm games …so good Bloody good Vlog…was pretty much yelling at you to go back the other way when you said you were looking for street art 🤣 The guy at 12:07 is Julian Assange …Wikileaks …currently in jail Ali G or Sasha baron Cohan is married to Isla fisher …an Aussie

The artwork at 12:10 is Julian Assange who by the way should be free...........

I feel personally responsible for not advising you in advance of the Crepes, just off Flinders Ln and Swanston. Next time.

The "Samurai Dragon" is the album cover for the "Defenders of tjhe Faith" album by Judas Priest.

That's a picture of Julian Assange (his hometown is Melbourne)

If you wanted amazing street at you should've gone to Fitzroy.

Sacha Baron Cohen is married to a Australian Isla fisher. So he was huge down under....

Like David Mutimer said in his comment, it's a shame you missed Hosier Lane. Blender Sutdios run street art tours which are lead by local street artists, these guys are great and can give you some of the history behind Melbournes street art. Maybe next time you come back. Glad you enjoyed yourselves!

Rob, the best thing to insulate yourself from extreme spicyness in foods is a glass of milk beforehand. It coats the lining of the mouth and throat. Much more effective than any other cold drink.

Melbourne is way overrated.

As you saw, damn taggers try to destroy works of art by spraying random graffiti all over the place. Taggers generally have no real talent except for causing mayhem with their graffiti.

Not certain, but I think the face you weren't sure about was Bill Clinton. Not a great likeness in my opinion.

It's a guinea pig mate we don't have hamsters here, next white haired bloke was Julian Assange

College (TAFE) students do a lot of St art during their arts course. They do it for free and the council lets them do it.

So glad you got to see some of the street art! Did you google Melbourne Street art, because that's what I did when I took my daughter. It tells you all the laneways where the art is.

We do know who ally g is because he is married to an Australian.

I liked the video, but I hate graffiti with a passion.

Ali G is definitely known here in OZ he’s married to an Aussie also

I am pretty sure that mans face was Julian Assange

are u 2 r. eally bro n sis, u seem a lot like rebel and matt in bridesmaids! and rob is more girly than charlie.

Here in Brisbane there are heaps of telephone poles that have been painted, they are stunning and turn an ugly/plain pole into beautiful art. Street art is truly stunning and adds interest to dull building and areas. Very stunning places you guys found. Great video❤️

i love graffiti *art* but tags are so stupid and disrespectful

12:05 That would be Julian Assange

Ham it up a bit and you'd make an excellent comedy duo.

Hosier lane is really the only place, and you went there

I think that's a Julian Assange pic

It's a pity they get tagged and destroyed by dead set tools

12.30 Julian Assange

12.04 one of the greatest aussies Julian Assange

Yeah we know Ali G! Sacha is married to an Aussie actress, Isla fisher. They spend a lot of time here, live here part of the year. Glad you got to see some Melbourne street art👍. Though I think there's more than what you found. If you ever get back to Sydney, check out Newtown. There's a lot of street art there too. And Graffiti tunnel - University of Sydney, Camperdown.

At 12:02 is Julian Assange.

You're eating soup with chopsticks 🥢😂😂😂

Ali G is married to Aussie girl

Julian Assange

About your commentary on AC/DC Lane. A few years ago I did a Coffee and Laneways Tour. Among the places we visited were Degraves Street, AC/DC Lane and Hardware Lane. Did you notice any unusual smells in AC/DC Lane? Our guides suggested that they could have been a mix of either vomit, alcohol or urine.

The logs are Aboriginal art work.

i always thought adelaide was the art capital of Australia but Melbourne comes close

Did you put a shout out for street art locations? We would have told you about dozens of places and websites to help you. Did you google Melbourne street art? Ali G or Borat to be more specific were such big names here years ago. He’s a part of our pop culture too. That man that you pointed out saying you didn’t know who he is is Julian Assange who has been exiled in London for years. I thought you might have heard of him.

Love Ali G 😄

What was that last place before your cider?

What's the best thing you've seen or done since your time in Aus?

Rick and Morty is the one cartoon my son and I disagree on. Can’t stand it.

@12:00 Wikileaks Julian Assange

If you look at the street names, from the 'bottom' of the city, they go: after Spencer Street, King, William, Queen Elisabeth, Swanson, Russel, Exhibition and Spring Street, (Vic Parliament House - just called "Spring Street") at the 'top'.....

The Samurai Dragon aka Defenders of the Faith album cover is from a British band from Birmingham name Judas Priest. They kicked off the twin guitar attack in heavy metal!

That painting that you were in front of is the album cover of Judas Priest Defensers of the Faith . I really need to check out our lane ways next time I'm in The City they look great and you did a great video

You missed Bartronica, an awesome bar down Little Collins, i think it was, with tonnes of old school Arcade machines where you can have drinks at the same time. They have quite a bit of gaming art. There is also a Bar/Restaurant called Fat Bob's just outside in the south east of Melb in Moorabbin. It is hidden away with a tiny small entrance in a very heavy factory area. The deceptively decently sized whole place revolves around a bloke who salvaged tonnes of old, and some antique, neon sign boards. He built his Bar completely around the signs to show them off for people to enjoy.

Love your attention to filming your pieces to camera in different styles and shots. Great editing as well! There might be a history/pattern to the street names in Melbourne’s CBD…. Brisbane has around 10 gridded streets in the heart of its CBD, and the streets going roughly northsouth are named after English kings and the eastwest ones are queens. Makes it a little easier to navigate. If you’re in a car though, working out which streets are one way streets is not so easy.

In one lane during covid lockdown I think someone painted over all the art there ( as a form of their own self expression)

What once were plain old drab brick walls...are now turned into works of art...so thank you Rob and Charlie for the tour...🤗

We are spoiled for street art in Melbourne.

Weather hasn’t improved! The forecast for Melbourne Cup day on Tuesday is for super cold, wet day 🙁.

Was the pineapple street art, or was it just the entrance to a business...a nightclub by the look of it?

If you come back to Adelaide, look up the art walk in Port Adelaide. There are many pieces of wall art around the city and surrounding suburbs now as well. So far, as I know the graffiti tags have not happened like you are showing in Melbourne. Not sure why they can't see it as defacing genuine art.

Excellent street art not to mention huge silo trail art work seen around the country but of course something that you see

Dam those pancakes looked nice

Yeah their brilliant and sad they get destroyed by wankers Pity you dint look at one's in Adelaide they don't have the vandalism as much We have a couple on 5 story buildings and all the states have silo art just as impressive I'm glad you got to try alot of food Did you guys have to buy a extra seat on way home 🤣😘

1:50 ▪︎ Would be nice to know the FULL name of the place so I can check it out for their Ramen & noodles🔹️

After the rabbit/hamster was Bill Clinton

Good to see this so-called street art (graffiti to the more decerning) is hidden away in laneways and back streets.

why do ppl have to ruin things ? fantastic art work , and some knob has to come along and tag it with rubbish. .

Ali G is great.

This is what I love about exploring urban cities.

Rabbit.. we don't have hamsters in OZ. A small amount of this is art but most is just graffiti and looks disgusting

Sascha Baron Cohen is married to an Aussie (Isla Fisher from Home & Away)
