It does that doesn’t it.
I did manage Taman Shud and The Bee Gees (the album was produced in Brisbane. Here’s The Real Thing by Russell Morris for you. Probably the best commercial Australian example.

We’ve had enough drizzle to save me watering the garden here in Bordertown (South Oz!) and it has been cool and cold! Especially cool and cold by contrast with our experience a few days ago of plus 44 degrees!
Fabulous line-up of talent in the disks you’re spinning this week-end, Algy. Glad I came by the bar. 🙂

Just picked Algernonina up from the beach, it rained there and back in fact it poured at times. Hasn’t rained since Christmas Day here. It’s not cold though. Like I said to Hung I like all of these tracks this week.

I love the song A Whiter Shade Of Pale, nice song, nice title…
Right now I’m tidying the visitor’s bedroom next room, when it gets boring, I’ll pop in to listen another song. It’s cooler today, thank god for that….I could not bear another hot day…

We were lucky here yesterday only 32 degrees, it was 10 degrees warmer in Gosford and appeared to be a tad warmer in Big M country. The room where our office and computers are screaming for tidying. I just say tomorrow unfortunately it has to be done.

It was 39 here yesterday, now it’s pleasantly cool, overcast, so maybe we will get some rain…

Algernonina the Elder has headed off to a party (lunch) on the northern beaches for a friend of hers, you know who will have to pick her up when I get the call. We’ve had some drizzle and a passing shower, though it looks clear at the beach. Mind you none of this is really wetting the ground.

Algy – good on you for finding the Tamam Shud clips – and also reminding me of many wasted Saturday afternoons in the space of my bedroom listening to Country Joe and the Fish and dreaming of ever being able to go to Woodstock !

The list wouldn’t be complete without these Australian exponents of the craft would it. The image (somewhat more vibrant here than when I found it) reminds me of a small alternate shop I went to around that time; I’d have been 10 or 11 at the time after tennis lessons. Innocently showed my mother the shop and she was somewhat horrified. It was Hornsby in the late 60’s and the last vestiges of its semi ruralness were disappearing. This was the part of Hornsby that Ginger Meggs was based on.

When I was a child travelling with parents from North Queensland, the northern outskirt of Hornsby (I think) was the pick-up place to bivouac with the RAC (NSW) pilot …driving out-of-towners through Sydney. Ginger Meggs, eh, I didn’t know he lived there. 🙂

Indeed he did. Mel Bancks was al local who lived on what was locally called the old side of Hornsby. There were certain shops that I’d walk past on my way to high school that featured prominently in his cartoons, however I didn’t twig until later that these were the places they were talking about. The steep hill where they’d have billycart races was the street that some rather mean licence assessor had me do a reverse park up hill on wet grass when going for my drivers licence. That I nailed it pissed him off no end. Bancks played rugby and cricket for the local teams.

That is a lovely little summary of an article, Algernon, to write off the top of y’, some time. I don’t like to suggest material to folks, but I couldn’t resist in answer to your authentic v’oice’. You would do a lovely flesh out of the features you describe without a lot of stress and present us an image that is common-I had never thought of that before- we know Hornsby whether we are familiar with the topography or no. It is ‘romantic’ to me in my memory because it was where I first knew we had arrived ‘in Sydney’… or at least its legit …we’re going to Sydney, All the way from Cairns is a long trip. 🙂
