Melbourne’s Buskers Buffet
When it comes to buskers..Melbourne takes the cake.
The good, the bad and the robotic..Melbourne has it. I myself having studied in the center of Melbourne’s CBD at RMIT University regularly encountered a busker. Now working full time in Melbourne’s City i have pretty much have witnessed all of Melbourne’s regular performers.
My final year of photography at University i chose to focus on the buskers of Melbourne, not only was this a great excuse for getting out of class to roam Melbourne’s city but also gave me a great insight to the art form and talent that lies on Melbourne’s Pavement.
From Monday to Sunday you may find yourself a busker; a great night to head out and experience the ‘buskers bonanza’ are the weekends. Friday & Saturday night live music and painters/ sketchers are at every street corner; Sunday all day you’ll find entertainment everywhere whilst you relax with a latte in one hand and the Herald Sun in the other….what can beat that?
Buskers Hot Spots:
* Bourke Street
* Vic Market
* Swanstown Street
* Flinder Station & Federation Square
Not only do these talented people face the unpredictability of Melbourne’s weather but they provide a great atmosphere and entertainment for anyone who cares to stop and watch.
The Melbourne Scene…. everything Melbourne
