New mural in Alexandria
The mural is by Barry the Cat. A few minutes earlier, my attempt to photograph another of his recent artworks was foiled by a vehicle parked in front of the building; however, a helpful taxi driver pointed out that another mural (this one) had recently been completed by the same artist a little further to the north along Main Street.
The building is opposite the north-eastern corner of the Christie Park, and is near the junction of Main Street and King Edward Street.
When I headed back along Main Street, after taking this picture, I found that the mural I originally intended to photograph was no longer blocked from view: Image
