Collins St 5pm by John Brack

Welcome to my Wiki page where you will find my various interpretations on the representation of Urban Australia. This painting shown above is by Australian artist John Brack which stereotypically depicts the urban worklife in the CBD of Melbourne, Australia at 5pm. It shows the seriousness of the city commuters hustling and bustling to and from place to place. I have chosen 3 texts in total to analyse about the Urban aspect of the Australian culture: a sonnet, short story and the painting.

My analysis on Gwen Harwood's 'Suburban Sonnet'
