When my dad started at TAFE in the 70s the policy was ALL education dept staff had to do two years service in the country within the first 10 years of being hired-on, due to the shortages in the bush. He was lucky to get posted to a relatively large/nice seaside town a few hours from the city.

The 1959 Oz rock concert movie considered “lost” for many years, has now been found and is currently touring cinemas in Australia.

I can think of no song less associated with Australian rock than Gershwin's Suwannee River. My god. That was truly awful. Moving ahead about eight years, this, the Easybeats, this my friends is everlastin' Australian rock and roll ...


Not to mention the fab shirt Stevie Wright is wearing, which I guess I just did.

My dad saw Johnny and the Delltones, if it was at Festival Hall my dad would have been in the audience. My mum and dad also saw The Beatles at Festival Hall and were 3rd row, and my dad also spoke to Paul McCartney when he was squashed up against his car. :lol My dad had amazing stories of the people he had met over the years and the bands he had seen.

In the US for sure. Other parts of the world it is highly encouraged.

My kids don’t go to a zoned school, so bicycles are out. But I think you’re right, it’s mums in oversized SUVs in the carpool lane and not racks of bikes here.
