Collingwood
One of the oldest suburbs in Melbourne, boasting a lively pub, dining and cafe scene, Collingwood is a cool and historical suburb just 3km from the Melbourne CBD.
Next time you find yourself on Easey Street, make sure to stop and take a moment, and snap a picture at the 11-metre-tall, 30-metre-wide mural painted by ten of Melbourne’s best street artists. Paying a colourful tribute to Keith Haring and Jean-Michel Basquiat, this detailed mural captures the vibrancy and diversity of the Collingwood neighbourhood. This artwork is not to be missed on a bright and sunny Melbourne day; the perfect time to capture the vibrant colours of this piece.
After you’ve taken pictures on your phone, capture the vast size of this mural with the instax Link WIDE printer. Boasting rectangle shaped film, along with the ability to print photos in rich colour mode for brighter and even more immersive prints, the instax Link WIDE is the perfect accessory to capture the essence of street art on film.

St Kilda Pier at sunset
Situated within gazing distance of the Melbourne skyline and Port Phillip, the historic St Kilda Pier is one of the top destinations for a stroll and a fish. Home to penguins and rakali (native water rats), St Kilda Pier is a bustling and unique Melbourne hotspot.
See the pier in a whole new light as the sun goes down across the water, and capture the luminous orange and pink glow with your instax mini 90. With a diverse range of functions that enhance image quality, such as brightness controls, macro mode and landscape modes, the mini 90 is the perfect accessory for an evening on the water.
