The English name for graffiti art, "graffiti," comes from Greek slang and represents the grassroots and original nature of this art form. Early graffiti primarily appeared in public places such as walls, subways, etc., with cultural connotations such as youth, rebellion, and non-mainstream, reflecting the voice of African Americans. It has certain associations with the pop art that emerged in the 1960s, but there are also significant differences: Pop artists generally have received professional painting training, while graffiti artists are mostly from poor backgrounds. It wasn't until 1973 that graffiti art first received official exhibition and artistic recognition. Victoria, Australia's Melbourne has strict anti-graffiti laws, which means that young graffiti artists like to create in alleyways. Adrian Doyle is the founder of graffiti art in the area and a successful artist. Hosier Lane is a iconic street art alley in Melbourne's central business district with graffiti changing fastest.

In Australian tourism, getting close to animals is a major highlight. You can enter the enclosures of emus and kangaroos to get closer to them; you can also watch sea lions and penguins swim gracefully underwater; if you're lucky, you can even observe polar bears up close through glass. In addition, the park's green environment has its own unique flavor, with various birds freely roaming on the lawns, including peacocks, as if they had escaped from their cages.
