Notes On Gun Alley
- Gun Alley no longer exists. Present day 80 Collins St (formerly Nauru House) stands on the site where the laneway once was.
Referring to the map:
- If you zoom in on the image, you can see Gun Alley running south off Little Collins Street, immediately below the Eastern Market (on the corner of Bourke and Stephen streets). There is a small dog-leg at the end of the alley, which is where Alma Tirtschke's body was found.
- You can see Alfred place running between Collins St and Little Collins St next to the Independent Church property (this site now has 120 Collins Street built on it), but the Church (St. Michael's) still exists. Alma Tirtschke was last seen on the corner of Alfred Place and Little Collins streets.
- The Eastern Arcade, which housed the Wine Saloon, is the building at the back of the Eastern Market running between Bourke St and Little Collins streets. The arcade was demolished in 2008.

“What neat repast shall feast us, light and choice,
Of Attick tast, with Wine, whence we may rise
To hear the Lute well toucht, or artfull voice
Warble immortal Notes and Tuskan Ayre?
He who of those delights can judge, and spare
To interpose them oft, is not unwise.”
—John Milton (1608–1674)
“In the mind there is a thin alley called death
and I move through it as
through water.”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
