Port Adelaide boasts many public artworks, but I guess none is more famous than the Wonderwalls mural trail. This project has been acknowledged as an outstanding event during the recent Adelaide Fringe. Eight new murals were painted by a line-up of acclaimed artists in March 2023. These now join the sixty or so artworks that already exist from previous years.



All the way from Scotland, internationally renowned artist Smug has taken inspiration from people and nature and created a large-scale installation at 8 Karatta Dock. This is his second mural in Port Adelaide with the first being an elderly figure holding an iced coffee and a bag of blue swimmer crabs. I found both murals to be super realistic.



Nearby is Sofles's large-scale installation. Using bright colours, the Brisbane graffiti artist has been able to catch the attention of his audience. Head to 6 Mercantile Dock and you'll see what I mean.



Since her first public art in Stirling, local emerging artist Lucinda Penn has been working on projects all over South Australia including the Festival Plaza and Adelaide Airport. Symbolism, together with an energetic colour palette, tells her story.



Also from Adelaide is Shane Cook, a proud Wulli Wulli man who initially learned to paint from his mother. He then developed an interest in graffiti culture, murals and tattooing. His artwork has kind of a contemporary style to it.



Other artists along the trail include Vans the Omega, Kab101, Guido Van Helten, Sarah Boese, Josh Searson, Jake Holmes and more. Further information can be found on the City of Port Adelaide Enfield website. Alternatively, you could also download the Visit Port Adelaide app. Port Adelaide is approximately a 30-minute drive from the city.
