There is a walking track which runs along the side of the Hawthorne Canal in Haberfield. At one point, there is a tunnel that cuts under the railway embankment, and it is about the only bit of infrastructure along the entire track that is graffiti free.
A mural like this has been painted at both ends of the tunnel. The tunnel itself is largely graffiti free - it has one or two tags, but nothing like other railway underpasses that I have seen.
The canal itself, and the fences of the houses backing onto the canal, are covered in several acres of spray paint. This tunnel is an oasis in a sea of grot.
