    Warren of laneways

    Melbourne is known for its warren of laneways that make it possible to cross the city without ever walking along a main road. Thanks to the growth of local street art, touring the backstreets can turn up unexpected treasures like this mural on AC/DC Lane in the city centre. (Christa Larwood)
