Narara Rock Festival
Narara '83 and '84: "Narara '83 Australia's Woodstock
When I was 16 and again at 17 I made a pilgrimage to a special place - Narara!
I remember my mate Pete took me in his car to the '83 Narara, but he also took his girlfriend so I didn't spend much time with him for obvious reasons. Narara was held over the Australia Day long weekend and it was as hot as hell. On a farm next door to a tourist trap known as Old Sydney Town we assembled, 40,000 strong, we built a tent city, we got wasted and we became a part of Australian rock history. I saw most of the acts and the standout memories were The Angels, Cold Chisel, Moving Pictures and Rose Tattoo."
