This is one of the weirdest Homicide moments ever for me. Delaney and Mac pile into their vehicle with an informant (played by Max Osbiston) to find a house in Carlton. What do you know, they end up in the street I 'grew up in', which is actually in Hawthorn not anywhere near Carlton, but there you go. We don't see any more of the street except the street sign - very obvious, unusually obvious for Homicide (and I don't know much about the old postcode system in Melbourne, but I do know that 'E2' is definitely not Carlton). But... 
We do get a shot of Auburn road, the main road that Scott St led off, and the gasometer at the end of the street, which really towers over the area in a way I genuinely don't remember, but I'm sure that's it. 
That's all I know. But it's something.
