The Goldstein community is blessed with a wonderful natural environment. But we also have a built environment, and the built environment of Sandringham has come alive as the Sandy Street Art Project sets about rejuvenating tagged and tired walls with vivid works of art. Led by Ian Cochrane, the group has finished two pieces which blend street art motifs with powerful Indigenous stories. Artist Mike Shankster's graphic masterpiece Bundjil and the Creation of the Bay sits proudly above the Limoncello cafe, while Mike Eleven's piece Bundjil's Children, just behind the supermarket, captures an optimistic vision of Australian multiculturalism. As recommended by the Boonwurrung elders, Mike worked with and mentored local Indigenous artist Ben Russell throughout the art project.
