Description

As part of the 150 Years of Burwood Program, Council commissioned artist Claire Foxton to create a mural dedicated to Angus and Malcolm Young from Australian rock band AC/DC.

Located on the side of 12 Burleigh Street, the mural is just a few seconds; walk from the original Young family home at 4 Burleigh Street Burwood. The Young family moved from Scotland to Burwood in the 1960s and the lads attended both Burwood Public Primary School and Ashfield Boys High School. 

Designed directly in consultation with the Young family, the mural is based on a photo of the band from the 1970s by photographer Phillip Morris in the early days of the band's formation. The blurred background in the design is also in reference to the original facade of 4 Burleigh Street.
