Melbourne City Council are considering renaming Corporation Lane, a narrow alley which runs off Flinders Lane, AC/DC Lane as a tribute to the band.
Corporation Lane is nearby to "Swanson Street" which is the street that the band filmed the promo video to "It's a long way to the top" on the back of a truck.
