TEN years of livening up laneways along Beaufort Street was marked with an alleyway party this week in the twice-rejuvenated Kaadadjiny Lane.

Seventy five locals turned up to a bbq bash on June 30 to re-launch the lane with RTRFM DJs running a live broadcast, along with five local artists – Jarni Creative, Jack Bromell, Kambarni, J.D. Penangke, Honey Mural Co – collaborating on a wall and floor mural. Their artwork Whadjuk Tales depicts a dream of nearby Hyde Park and its wildlife.

Vincent mayor Emma Cole noted it’s been 10 years since the Beaufort Street Network reached out to Vincent council with an idea to bring artwork to the laneway, which had stood the test of time: “The bike chandelier and lightbox gallery from this time continue to shine as we respect this history and keep the laneways alive with new art.”

The spruce-up was part of Vincent council’s laneway renewal program, which also saw nearby Lois Lane get new artwork, seats, light, shade and plants.
