Water fountain in front of the Royal Exhibition Building.
This is the oldest train station of Australia and one of the busiest of south etmisphere.
It is a major building of Melbourne.
AC/DC band was formed in Sydney, but Melbourne is an important city in their career. This is the place where fame started.
It would be a shame being in Melbourne and not going to ACDC lane. The street is placed in the city center. I have first found it in Wikipedia, click here to read more. Unfortunately there is no paintings or nice graphs as many Melbourne streets. Still, some torn posters are on the wall, see the blelow photos. Within the street there is not much except the Cherry Bar, where rock concerts take place.
if you want to know more about Young brothers band and Melbourne, I have found this interesting article.
Have a look to a fan who has put the important Melbourne spots for AC/DC on google map.
Still in Melbourne center or CDB(central business district), AC/DC has recorded a video clip at Swanston street. The song is “It’s a Long way to The Top (If You Want to Rock and Roll)” it is one of my favourite and for my kids too. From their scottish origin, bagpipes are played and suit very well guitar riffs. This song is the first one of “High voltage” album, in my opinion the best one.
As it can be seen in the video they are playing in the main street for trams. Today, the old woody trams are still used.
Enjoy the music
New photos from a suburb of Melbourne, named Saint Kilda. This is an artistic area with several very nice wall graffitis. Do not hesitate to have a look to other ones at http://www.flickr.com/photos/mik_arber/sets/72157629811399178/
Here I am in Melbourne. It is a very nice city mixing from modern to 19th century buildings. As I am here for 3 months, I will have time to take pictures from it. Please find my first shots.
