A long way to the shop ...
A trip down Swanston St, Melbourne, as it used to be:
Also read that one of the laneways in Melbourne was renamed ACDC Lane a few years back. Apparently it is now the most stolen street sign in Melbourne.

I must admit to not being a very big ACDC fan - by this I don't mean that I am vertically challenged, but that I do not like their music.
However, I am huge fan of Melbourne - I lived their for two years and still regard it as home. Unfortunately events have conspired to pull me away and it is unlikely that I will return....
Curiously, I worked in Prahran, at The Avenue hospital which is just past Lewisham Road and to add a dollop of X-Filesesque ingredients, I actually hail from Lewisham in South East London (or Sarf Eeest Lahndun, as we are want to say).
Anyhow, I don't suppose that there is any chance of me becoming a Melbournite (in your group thingy) is there?
Elizabeth Street, Latrobe Street, St Kilda Footie Team, Flinders Street, Collins Street... oh how I miss them... (sigh).
Not sure about ACDC Lane though. Maybe something like NIck Cave Cove or Dead Can Dance Drive?
I don't see any problem with you joining the group, Godbluff. I haven't lived in Melbourne for over 15 years myself but figure once a Melbournite, always a Melbournite!
Like your ideas for other street names. maybe Caulfield Grammar School should have a Nick Cave wing or something?
Thanks for that. Maybe I could be the South London Wing (makes us sound like a paramilitary organisation!)
I'll dig out some photographs.
Any St Kilda supporters out there?
However, we have quite a few expat Aussies here and they spend most of the summer in the local local park playing Aussie Rules. Makes me quite homesick!
