I'm 61 this was a big hit when I was 20 maybe 18. North San Diego coastal resident for 50 years. Got a new act called Papa Lolo going to throw this song in it rearrange the words a little bit to kind of go with where I live now... Great memories McCoy's surfboards Shane Horan. And other Aussie Legends
This is sad for me... So many, many memories as I face my final lap. Going for a surf is a distant memory. Ghosts of days and lives in a past... RIP Robbo and Guy. Bloody awesome fella's.
Crawl music cheer up out any black dog moment ,yeah I now comn from ,good at craft ,making ya listen words ,all songwriter wants from ya ,,you take as much as little off it want ,,
I was born on the north coast grew up listening to australian crawl in my dads blue station wagon that had holes in floor and no seatbelts! They were the days!
@@AustralianCrawl they dont make cars like that anymore, i dont remember what my dads was but i loved that car took a few beating but still went as good as new.
I spent my mid teens and twenties in the 80's when Oz music was in its peak and this album was one of THE best..not a single weak track..great memories.
I heard this as a kid when it came out (13 years old) I don’t know how I was lucky enough to see it on in local video channel in Milwaukee,Wisconsin. I had totally forgotten about this band! What a group- what sound! Enjoy

Thanks Spotify, I just rediscovered this song after not hearing it for 20-30 years. I don't know why this song isn't rated more highly - has to be one of the most authentic, awesome Aussie songs. Love that guitar intro. It's on my most listened to playlist now...
@@joaopequeno6317 No doubt a lot of US bands would have pilfered a few Aussie riffs knowing that no one in the US would have heard those tracks. Very similar I agree.

Man late 70's surfin no mobile phones no internet no facebook had to go to a phone box to ring and press A put your money in then B when they answered . fuck we only beer and weed back then just righting off going to see awesome aussie bands The Angels, Aussie crawl midnight oil Ted Mulry gang at the local pub. Man to be 17 again
I first saw this on my HMV B&W TV back in 1984, which is fitting when you consider that the parent company of HMV was EMI (Aussie Crawl's record company.)
Probably their hardest, guitar-wise, but the lyrics are of reflective thinking from a Sydneysider wishing he could get back to cruising up the northern coast of NSWi to Queensland and keep going into the tropics
Reading Bill's book at the moment " Sons of Beaches" the film clip is actually in Victoria not Nth Queensland which inspired Guy to write the song, absolutely freezing apparently that's why there's only 3 of them at the end the others took off !
"Australian Crawl was the best of Australian rock music bands, they had a more cooler sound the Little River Band did whose music was played on American Radio a lot, I'm just now starting to listen more to Australian Crawl who I'd never heard of until I got you tube and discovered them and other bands from down under that never made it in the U.S.,thanks."-🤗. 🌐🎤🎸🎹🌐🌐.
Nothing like a windy city Where the station-wagon died Where the wild dogs meet the fences And the horsemen, fences ride Where the flatlands become flatlands And the caravans collide I'm just sitting 'neath the mango Running a tide Took a ride on a bin-train 50 cars or more They say the heads are just insane But it's too risky to score Sittin' on the lawn with Andrea Draggin' the line for big red Everyone looks better with a suntan Easier to get you into bed Daughters of the northern coast Sons of beaches, don't deliver the post You know the post is a ghost Lee Marlin went lookin' for a marvin While we were looking for a line at the pub Hey, and still the black man's starvin' No wonder nobody wants a job Helicopter over homestead Stirring all the young blades at night They're steppin' out there in the sultry summer evening Their pistols all packed And their badges so bright Daughters of the northern coast Sons of beaches, don't deliver the post You know the post is a ghost Took a ride on a bin-train 50 cars or more They say the heads are just insane But it's too risky to score Andrea's been giving me a towel down Standing on a palm beach shore If 'n'those girls keep a doin' that thing I can't wait for next year I'm gonna come back for more Daughters of the northern coast Sons of beaches, don't deliver the post You know the post is a ghost
Kate Sassenach Thanks for the lyrics Kate., I just love Australian Crawl.,they bring back so many great memories of my childhood going to see them at local Melbourne pub gigs.,
apfelprincess45 Yep,so true.,he still plays down this way pretty much every year at the local pubs. I was so blessed to grow up on the Peninsula listening to these guys.,Thank you JR .,and all the Australian Crawl band..🇦🇺☀️🏄♀️
It sounds morelike The Norwegian Band Immortal to me. Not Black Metal in general but Immortal specifically. Sons of Northern Darkness and Tyrants and whatnot. Not sure if this is intentional but strong resemblance here and there.
