Duckboard Place Graffiti

This guide to Duckboard Place in Melbourne starts with a tiny stencilled rat, one of the last surviving Banksy pieces in the city centre, tucked low on a brick wall beneath towering murals. It traces the laneway's name back to World War One trench duckboards, follows it to a returned-soldiers' clubhouse on Flinders Lane in the 1950s, and on through the venue's wartime and postwar life. Along the way you'll meet the paste-up and mural artists, including Steen Jones and Lukas Kasper, whose work now covers the walls the soldiers once passed.
