A LANEWAY tribute to rock band AC/DC has detoured down a highway to hell.
Merv Williams, secretary of the Melbourne RSL sub-branch, will oppose a Melbourne City Council recommendation to rename Corporation Lane ACDC Lane. The council has asked Mr Williams to float the proposed street name change with RSL members.
Mr Williams said Corporation Lane was an extension of Duckboard Place, where the RSL's Melbourne sub-branch set up offices in 1939.
He will suggest the lane become part of Duckboard Place at an RSL meeting tonight. "The RSL has been around since 1916 so I think we are entitled to a bit of a say," Mr Williams said.
World War I Diggers used "duckboards" to cross French battlefields.
"We are the old boys on the block and we should have a say."
