    Buddy mural

    Just been discussing this with Meg. There's an article in the Fairfax media about it, and Longmire did his Monday press conference in front of it yesterday, yet we've not managed to find any article mentioning where it is. It's been described as in both Darlinghurst and Surry Hills, which leaves a fairly large area to explore.

    Does anyone actually know the street address where it can be found?

    Yes, on the twitter feed that's part of the other thread, it says that it's on Flinders St, just before Taylor Square, on the left when going towards the city.

    Thanks guys. Did occur to me that Twitter might provide the answer but I'm not a tweeter and don't really know how to search. Guessed it would be round about there, as it's the area most likely to be described as both Darlinghurst and Surry Hills.

    Wow! I must ride past it every day and I haven't noticed. I'll have to take a look on Thursday.

    Wonder why the artist didn�t paint Buddy wearing the Swans� indigenous guernsey.

    I wondered that too. Maybe it hadn't been unveiled yet. Maybe a directive from the AFL who apparently commissioned the works?

    Love the indigenous "top" as much as everybody but I prefer him in our everyday brand.

    Yes makes the mural very clearly OUR Buddy. Liz & I went to have a look today. It�s wonderful - and very tall! There will be a lot of Swans fans walking past there on way to match on Friday.

    Can someone post a photo please?
    Wild speculation, unsubstantiated rumours, silly jokes and opposition delight in another's failures is what makes an internet forum fun.
    Blessed are the cracked for they are the ones who let in the light.

    It should be an RWO thing to post a photo of yourself at the Buddy wall. Don't have to show your face if privacy is sought.
