The area

Address

Neighborhood: Central Business District

Full of discovery and delight, Melbourne’s laneways tease the imagination long after you’ve put your weary feet up to rest. They weave through the heart of the city: cafes, bars, restaurants and boutiques, throbbing with conversation and espresso coffee. You never quite know what you’ll find around the next corner: cobblestone alleys, old beer barrel hoists and even vats of simmering organic soup. There is the air of Berlin in the street art, a touch of Paris in the umbrella-shaded cafes and, reminiscent of Rome, eateries tucked away in the most unlikely of places. Perhaps you might want a break and cross the Yarra River to Southbank - walk along the promenade, bask in the sun at a waterside bar and decide whether to go to the nearby casino or book a ticket at the Melbourne theatre company.

This is street art?

Feb 2023 • Couples

This is the first street art street after our lunch at Betty @Elizabeth Street.

Weather suddenly turns hot on our 7th day in Melbourne.

Feel like going back hotel after seeing the "arts" on this street......

street art

Apr 2023 • Friends

Runs into ACDC Lane and is another of Melbourne's street art lanes ways. Much of the art here has been there a while and is not vandalised like the art in Hossier Lane.
Worth a wander if in the area

Historical significance

May 2021

Interesting laneway loop of Duckboard Place and AC/DC Lane off Flinders Lane. Various restaurants and street-art/graffiti. This lane also has historical significance as an area for World War II troops to visit for R&R.

Old school grime

Nov 2019

Duckboard Place bleeds into ACDC lane and it's hard to know where one starts and one ends. I had random chats in the lane with overseas tourists who were loving the Melbourne vibe and the random artwork. It says a lot that we can draw tourists to alleyways. :)

Once the place where World War II troops came to be entertained and let off steam, the lane now attracts a more discerning punter. Covered head to toe in street art and gig posters, the lane is home to innovative Chinese eatery Lee Ho Fook, the Indian-inspired flavours of Tonka, Danish steakhouse A Hereford Beefstouw and the Mary Fortune wine bar.

It's worth stopping in ... and walking through to ACDC lane.

More Here Than You Think

Jan 2019 • Couples

There is more to this lane than you might think from first glance with some quirky artwork (some better than others) and a load of atmosphere and some interesting restaurants.Take time and look at some of the art work as it is quite interesting and often over-looked compared to AC.DC around the corner.Also try Lee Ho Fook, Tonka and Pastuso and they are good.

Clever Art Bordering On Grotty

Jul 2022

The art is clever and interesting but Duckboard Place could also be described as quite grotty and bordering on unpleasant because of trash and trash bins and general untidyness. There are some interesting restaurants in the lane and worthy of a look and go for the art, some of which is very good.

Large graffiti

Jun 2022 • Friends

There are some tall graffiti here. Two storey a or higher. Really amazed at how the artist can paint something so large when remained at a close distance to the wall. Takes great vision.

Great street art lanewAy

Apr 2022 • Solo

One of the better street art laneways in the CBD. Added bonus of joining up with AC/DC lane. A number of great eateries also call this lane home

Another laneway.

Jan 2021 • Solo

Continuing on from AC/DC Lane will lead you to this lane. More street art, posters and graffiti. There are restaurants along either side and it may get quite lively once they are open.

Doing the laneways of Melbourne (1)

Jun 2019 • Couples

It curves its way from Flinders Lane and back to AC/DC Lane, packing in an eyefull of street art on its walls. Stopped for a light eat at Tonka, where Indian dishes are served beneath a cloud-like art installation.
