Dimmey's is a discount clothing/linens store that has been in Melbourne since the 1850's. On the side of the store in Richmond there is an awesome mural documenting the history of the store and all of Australian history and popular culture. The mural was done by Hayden Dewar and took several years to complete. The work is incredible and has been mostly treated respectfully by other street artists. 
The mural starts in sepia tones featuring a Ned Kelly wanted sign and portraits of the explorers Burke and Wills. 
Vibrant colors come in about a third of the way though with loads of Australian icons like Blinky Bill, Skippy the Bush Kangaroo (the Australian answer to Lassie), Dame Edna and of course Steve Irwin. There is even a small corner where Dewar portrayed himself painting the wall. The mural is a great way to get a brief in Australian history.
