Mid-Winter Walk 2025: Veterans Public Arts Trail

Melbourne is home to the world's only walking trail of public art by veterans. The walking tour highlights the contribution of the Veteran Community to Australia's cultural identity and Melbourne’s built environment through the 3D sculptures, 2D murals and buildings designed or sponsored by veterans as artists, architects and arts patrons. Discover some of the many pubic artworks by veterans hidden in plain sight around Melbourne. 

The Trail follows a 3 km path over approximately 2.5 hours, from Russell St to ANVAM on St Kilda Rd. During the Trail the host draws attention to more than two dozen public artworks, buildings and significant historical sites to the Veteran Community, plus to Australia’s cultural identity and military heritage.

Please arrive no later than five minutes before the designated start time.
