AC/DC Childhood Home Demolished in Sydney

The childhood home of AC/DC's Young brothers in Sydney has been demolished, despite its listing on Australia's National Trust Register of Historic Houses. Located at 4 Burleigh Street, the site was significant as it was where AC/DC formed in 1973. Developers Burwood Square Pty Ltd, who purchased the property for $5.8 million, expressed regret for the oversight, stating they were unaware of the home's historical value before proceeding with demolition for a luxury development. They plan to establish a bar or cafe at the site to honor the band's legacy. The incident has sparked outrage among fans and raised questions about the preservation of culturally significant sites in Australia. Local council defended the demolition, citing a lack of statutory protection despite the home's historic listing.
