Bohemian Fitzroy
Brunswick Street, painters, punks and the Postcards From Surfers years.
Australia's first suburb became its first bohemia. The painters' studios above the shops. The Black Cat and Mario's. Helen Garner's Brunswick Street. The Punters Club where Magic Dirt and Spiderbait cut their teeth. A walk through the rooms that turned a working-class suburb into a cultural capital.
