The city
of Sydney has plenty to offer. The massive population of 4 million
people boasts hundereds of fine writers who have been leaving their
mark all over the place. Sydneys' City Rail network, which consists
of over 160 stations, is where most of the action takes place. Unlike
the subways of New York or the London tube, only a small fraction
of the tracks are underground. This allows the walls and bridges
to exhibit graff work. There is only one problem, and that is the
notorious bufffing by the rail authorities. Ever since Sydney bid
for the 2000 Olympic Games, the colourful pieces along the lines
have been covered with a boring ugly brown coat. There is so much
buffing going on that it feels like the walls are getting closer
to the trains - the paint is so thick. As a result, graffiti has
taken off in the streets, and in the streets is where most of the
quality work can be found.
