Citylink walking route (New Viaduct Street underpass)

The Wonder Wall, created by Nick Flynn, features a bold typographic mural that spans the entire wall.

Its interactive magic lies in three floor-mounted lights (red, green, blue) that illuminate the mural. As you pass by, your shadow splits into vibrant silhouettes that move with you, offering a playful and engaging experience.

Perfect for solo visitors or groups, this installation is a fun, photo-friendly attraction that invites creative interaction and makes for great social media moments.
