Hidden away in a laneway off Russell Street, this alleyway is a hot spot for heroin injection in Melbourne CBD. It sits outside the entrance to Urban Seed, an organisation fighting to steer Melbourne’s homeless towards a better life.
There were 190 fatal heroin deaths in Victoria last year, up more than 70 percent since 2011. This is the spot where many, as ‘Shane’ has written, succumb to the death wish that is heroin. (Photo: David Zita)
