Review:

In the 1970s and 80s, graffiti became an illicit art form as youth experimented with spray paint in public places. The cost of removing the offending images was $400000 per annum. In the late 1980s the first graffiti wall in Bondi was sanctioned in order to channel the young artists' energies. Space was allotted based on merit and experts in the field offered training in spray paint art and techniques. More Bondi Beach Graffiti Wall space was made available and the cleaning bill for removing illicit graffiti dropped to $60000. Initially, words and phrases were popular but recently, images worthy of selfies and Instagram have started trending.
