 Headliner
- The
Bushwackers, Melbourne, AUS
"Somehow, 'The Bushwackers' would take you back to colonial days
when a bloke was either your mate or a policeman. Somehow it was no
longer a crowded pub on a bleak night in Melbourne, but a hot, dry patch
of Queensland dirt in the middle of a drought -- or even a hiding place
during a shoot with the 'traps' in Victoria....."
