About this place
What to expect
Benalla isn't just a town, it's a living, breathing outdoor gallery, bursting with colour and creativity. As one of regional Australia's street‑art powerhouses, Benalla turns everyday walls, silos, and laneways into jaw‑dropping canvases. And when the Benalla Street Art Festival rolls around, the whole place levels up as world‑class artists arrive to splash their magic across town. Take a self‑guided wander through Benalla's vibrant streets and uncover the stories behind the murals. With the Storytowns Benalla Street Art app, you can hear directly from the artists - their inspirations, their challenges, and the hidden details you might otherwise miss. It's like having your own personal guide in your pocket. Benalla's walls are home to some seriously iconic works. Keep your eyes peeled for Minna Leuning - creatures in the Strathbogie Forest, DREZ and Adnate collaboration - Chromatic and Transient Pulse, Tim Bowtell's Sticks and Stones — a nostalgic nod to childhood, Sirum's bold Ned Kelly mural — a modern twist on a legendary figure. Benalla's street art never stands still. Fresh works pop up across the municipality every year, meaning no two visits are ever the same. Whether you're a first‑timer or a returning fan, there's always something new to discover. Grab a map online or swing by the Benalla Visitor Information Centre to plan your perfect street‑art trail.
