This bluestone cobbled lane is located in a prominent position and is easy to find.

This lane has some memorable murals with fresh pieces emerging regularly in a living lane of art. Initially decorated in 2008 in a collective creative project between aspiring artists and their mentors, it was revamped in 2010 when the city council commissioned over 70 artists to transform the space; a sure sign that street art has come up from the underground. Union Lane is off the main shopping strip in Melbourne’s CBD about half way between Elizabeth St and Swanston St; a 40 drive from our hotel depending on traffic.
