Bansky, the well known British stencil artist, after a visit to Melbourne, in 2003 said: "The walls of Melbourne are very noisy...like the noise of a hundred drunk people talking among themselves. "He went on to say," It looks like the city belongs to anyone that wants it. It feels like there's more opportunity.
