The ultimate guide to AC/DC Lane and Duckboard Place
Named after the legendary Aussie band, this laneway is covered in tributes to rock'n'roll. AC/DC Lane and adjoining Duckboard Place merge Melbourne's love for live music and street art. Come for the world-class restaurants, stay for the quintessential laneway photo opp.
Street art spotting
Marvel at sticker-bombed windows. Check out murals of AC/DC’s Malcolm Young. And spot Mike Makatron’s 3D sculpture of Bon Scott bursting through the wall. Plus, see a new lighting installation casting a high-voltage glow over the laneway. It's an ode to the band’s unique connection to our city. Almost 50 years ago, AC/DC filmed their legendary "It’s a Long Way to the Top" video on Swanston Street.
