"Banksy" building heritage listed in Melbourne, by trowel on Oct 26, 2007 14:24:45 GMT 1, A 1920s building in central Melbourne on which renowned UK graffiti artist Banksy left his mark about five years ago has made its way onto the state's heritage register.
Melbourne's Nicholas Building on the corner of Swanston Street and Flinders Lane has been given the highest level of heritage protection under Victorian law, which means it's now protected under the Victorian Heritage Act.
One exterior wall of the building, which houses an eclectic array of shops, designers and artists, has a one-metre tall stencil artwork of a deep-sea diver in a duffle coat by the artist.

I know it's been listed more to do with the sheer awesomeness of the building rather than the grafitti, but not even Tower Hamlets can get near this one now! 
Anyone got a pic of the Banksy work? Is it the girl with bird?

"Banksy" building heritage listed in Melbourne, by mievin on Oct 26, 2007 14:54:53 GMT 1, I'm off to Melbourne on Tuesday and was aiming to check a few places (Kozyndan are out there at the moment)...thanks for the tip. I'll definitely check the building. Will be a bit of compensation for not even getting a chance to go for Trolleys if it gets released on Tuesday or Wednesday when I'll be on my 24 hour flight.

"Banksy" building heritage listed in Melbourne, by tomdc85 on Oct 26, 2007 14:56:55 GMT 1, There aren't many left in Melbourne - most have been cleaned off or painted over. The diver and a few rats are all that're left I think.
