Taste-y Backyard/Carpark

Legal graffiti wall in Cairns City, Australia

5 Comments

There´s a little laneway on Grafton Street just opposite Gilligans Backpackers, that lead to a backyard/carpark where it´s allowed to paint as long as you check back with the guys in the shop called taste-y´s right on Grafton Street.

Thats right, the wall is right down past the cafe, Caffiend, in the alleyway. these guys at Tastey sell paint, mags, DVD.s and graff tshirts. They also know about other active legal walls around Cairns

I painted there in Feb. 2011 and the girl from Tastey was very helpful and friendly. Nice quite spot.

It’s still usable in 2019, photos of it uploaded to Instagram @photographerzach

There used to be a shop Taste-y running the wall but it has been closed in 2014. Now there's a bar with tables close by, and you can't paint there anymore. Sometimes they organize events and invite people painting the all lane, other than that is not possible to paint there no more. Look up for tanks around the town instead!

Is this wall still safe to paint?
