In 2004 Corporation Lane off Flinders Lane was renamed AC/DC Lane to commemorate one of Australia's greatest rock bands. This plaque was funded by the state government's Rockin the Laneways program to honour Ronald Belford 'Bon Scott', the band's lead vocalist, who died in 1980 aged 34. The sculptor and artist, Mike Makatron, portrayed Bon Scott busting through the brickwork." p. 174. |
