I’d extend that timeline to at least 1989. I’d never tried vegemite though.īy the time I’d discovered a sexier underground scene in 1985, its heyday was already allegedly coming to an end, according to Clinton Walker ( Inner City Sound: Punk and Post-Punk in Australia, 1976-1985) - The Saints, Radio Birdman, Hitmen, The Birthday Party, The Scientists, X, Riptides, Laughing Clowns, The New Christs, The Celibate Rifles, The Moodists, Hoodoo Gurus, The Screaming Tribesmen, Beasts Of Bourbon, Crime & The City Solution, Cosmic Psychos, Lime Spiders, and feedtime. From the exotic critters I learned about in National Geographic World magazine (koalas, roos, dingoes, wombats) to the Ford Falcon (Aussie version of the Mustang Mach I, featured in Mad Max), Crocodile Dundee, AC/DC, Men At Work, The Church, INXS, even to an extent Olivia Newton John, at least her contributions to the Xanadu soundtrack. ![]() ![]() As a kid I’d always liked most everything Australian.
