Dame Edna Place

Everyone knows Melbourne’s favourite housewife, Dame Edna Everage with her trademark lilac-coloured hair and distinctive glasses, so it’s only fitting that she has been commemorated with her own laneway. This small laneway is decorated with marquee lights that illuminate at night. There is nothing else to mark the significance of the laneway.

The laneway was renamed in 2007 by Lord Mayor John So. Dame Edna was not at the renaming ceremony but was represented by ten look-alike Dames. Everage Street in suburban Moonee Ponds has also been named in her honour. Dame Edna was also awarded keys to the City Of Melbourne by Mayor John So in 2006.

When you're finished, cross Little Collins street to the Royal Arcade.
