Flinders Lane is a minor street and thoroughfare in the Melbourne central business district of Victoria, Australia.
In the 1960s and 1970s these businesses began to close due to changing requirements for space and labour, rising rents and traffic congestion.
[4] On Monday 18 June 2007, a shooting incident occurred on the corner of Flinders Lane and William Street when Hells Angels member Christopher Hudson shot and killed Brendan Keilar and wounded two others.
[5] Keilar was posthumously awarded the Royal Humane Society of Australasia's medal for bravery as he was shot and killed after intervening to save one of the victims.
Though there is no other public transport running down Flinders Lane itself, the street is well connected due to the surrounding rail, tram and bus infrastructure.
