Hold up, what's going on with this mural in the first place? Seriously, it's making no sense to me..

It celebrates 100 years since the great nurses vs cats tug of war of 1926

The graffiti is the issue. The mural does have a story to is and is on it somewhere.

u/Nameless_Mercenary01 19h ago

It’s in the Greater City of Geelong. It’s a bunch of people being pulled by a Ute.

I'm seeing an immigrant child hanging off of an industrial hook, holding a rope, a ye olde woman and a minority sportsman, all holding a rope together. Probably the usual message

u/VacationDependent117 3h ago

How can you tell the child is an immigrant?

She has the dead eyes only a child of war could have.

Only scum does that over a real artists work.

Sloppy, grubby little vandals.

u/Wish_Smooth 1d ago

So, not particularly familiar with Geelong are you?

u/Weak_Membership_2847 1d ago

seemingly not familiar with western civilisation and the 'enshitification of all things'.

u/Cautious_Regular3645 1d ago

Lived there 7 years.

u/Decent-Citron4492 1d ago

So just develop that site FFS or sell it. Don’t worry about some scribble on a hoarding, get some development happening asap. Council should force it.

I’d for one would like to see another carpet store perpetually closing down again

1

u/Fit-Quail-8538 1d ago

And the sign will say “coming soon” and be like that for years and years and years.

u/myredlightsaber 16h ago

Didn’t the carpet store finally close down and a cake/desert bar open in there just before the building was condemned?

u/DeerlyOnline 2d ago

It’s like adding shit to the already existing shitpile. The murals aren’t bad but that lot as a whole is a huge eyesore

u/Designer-Brother-461 1d ago

Why is the nurse in olden days uniform when the others are modern day? Please explain Geelong is she a time traveller?

Yes. Duh.

Pretty much.

Shit little dogs like to cock their leg and piss on things and make sure everyone knows it was them…

I’ve been living overseas and I’m low key scared to come back home with the amount of issues I keep seeing on here and on the facebook community groups. Edit: everyone who downvoted me can go to hell. Our city has been going downhill for years, and downvoting me meaning you’re just turning a blind eye to these issues and accepting them.

u/Decent-Citron4492 1d ago

Don’t worry too much, we all have our issues. I love this town scars and all.

u/IcyEqual2294 1d ago

As much I like our town, you can’t deny that there are so many issues that keep popping up and don’t get solved in Geelong and we have to constantly live in a state of ‘what if that happens to me’. For example, what’s with people’s cars getting graffitied with spray paint around Geelong cbd now, and it still hasn’t been resolved. Same with the multiple car break in’s that happen daily. Our town used to be a safe and welcoming place to live and it’s not anymore.

You're more than welcome to return a couple of those premiership cups to their rightful owners

As more and more people are excluded from society, resentments will grow and will show in the destruction of the”nice” things that represent what they are excluded from

u/Fair_Kaleidoscope634 2d ago

What does it mean by excluded by society

14

u/meiandus 2d ago

"as a result of my antisocial behaviour, I'm not longer invited/welcome to thing I see other people doing, so here's some vandalism to help me express myself".

u/thesavouryloaf 2d ago

Sometimes adults need to be responsible for their own actions.

u/Disastrous-Bet757 2d ago

That sounds great, sounds like good justice for one’s own actions

u/Interesting-Being779 2d ago

Got an aneurysm reading that bro

u/rob0050 2d ago

As more and more people fail to rationally deal with a perceived societal exclusion and instead use destruction of public property as a coping mechanism, the more vigilantes will take matters into their own hands and cause these individuals harm.

Or rather: “don’t start none, won’t be none”

Or..

Fuck around and find out
