Most of us Melbourne kids who grew up in the 70’s & 80’s had no idea how good we had it. Turns out the Melb. Pub scene back then was legendary. In a good week we could see Oz Crawl, Cold Chisel,, Midnight Oil, Icehouse, Uncanny X-men, INXS, Painters & Dockers, Pseudo Echo, The Church, The Models, Violent Femmes, & dozens more. When I was in a band we did see this many in a good week, we’d stick our heads in at places like The Corner Hotel, Bombay Rock, Billboard, the Underground, & dozens more, out to the Waltzing Matilda & The Pier. Damn near the perfect decade. I’ll always miss it.
The 70s and 80s rocked. Nothing will ever be as good again. Remember having the double cassette and as soon as your fav song came on the radio you pushed record then rewinded and replayed over and over again. Time of our lives💖
Funny that I always thought they sounded like they had a lobotomy for this song. On youtube I wondered what it might sound like at ).25 faster than the normal speed....hmmm... not bad. Tried playing it at 50% faster than the original speed....... hey that's not bad either and the song finishes sooner.
As a young Kiwi living in Brisbane between 1980 / 84 Aussie music was the best in the world. I still have all my vinals in my bar room and I really miss the sound of Aussie music in the early 80's. This song was a hit from the very first time I heard it. Musically it was the best time in my life. Aussie and Kiwi bands rocked my world. Do not forget Goanna or the Reels.
Great taste brother. Let's not forget the Kiwis too, mi sex, split enz, Jenny Morris, Dave dobbin, The swingers( counting the beat) etc. Brilliant time to live. Great taste bro
The 80's was the best time to grow up! Soooo good! Time goes very fast! Go to school, eat, sleep, surf, ping-pong, girls... no work, besides fixing my surfboards. My high school time!!! love it!
@user name Its not like music has stopped just have to pull your head out and look for it. Triple j unearthed is a good stepping stone. just times were different then. People wrote music about current events and common issues because people were more informed in a less connected world then than they are now.

Australian Crawl forever , greatings from Brazil , listening in November 2018 !
Australia and New Zealand had the best music in the 70's and 80's but only certain artists were heard here in the U.S. but there were many such as Australian Crawl, Dragon, Icehouse, the Jets, Goanna, Hunters and Collectors, Mutton Birds, the Choir Boys and several from New Zealand as well glad to hear them here, g'day y'all.
I've only been in Australia 4 yrs but luckily my wife has introduced me to so many Ozzie bands. Saw James Rayne at The Red Hot Summer Tour last weekend and he did an incredible version !!!!
Hope you enjoy this wonderful country and it's wonderful music, I'm from New Zealand have been here 34 years and still love this country as much as I did the day I first arrived
I remember seeing Oz Crawl at the Melbourne Royal Show. It was about 1984 and i was 16 or so. What a concert. What a time. I got in trouble as i got home pretty late. Well worth it.
I'm from Perth, but I was in Sydney for 2 years. This song among others from Australian crawl reminds me of those great times. I was a driver for girls on the game in the cross. Fantastic times as a 30 year old bloke.
@@vindolanda6974 I do my friend and I loved every minute I was in Sydney. I only left the greatest job in Australia because I felt I was being forced into things I didn't agree with. Sydney has a very bad side to it, my friend. but still, I would still do it all again, no problems.
gday bloke , perth here ... 1988 was in the cross what a blast fucking crazy , the big coca cola sign and the shenanigans at the fountain , we drove from perth to go up to the brizzy world expo 1988 , what a ride that 2 month trip was ,,, i remember early hours of the morning coming down into Adelaide after crossing the nulabor being greeted by a car load of youths who hung their ass out the window at us from WA at the lights in the city, ha ha ha greetings from Adelaide i guess ,,then when entering the cross in the car late at night the first night a lady of the night sticking her head in the window of the car offering to take 3 of us on for $50 ,,cheap root by today's prices ha ha ha , good memories great times there were many more
It timeless mate it will come back around.. i was born in Sydney in 1982 and they played this at my 21st bday they say as a baby i used to cruise around singing this song anyway have a good one
I went to oz in 1989, I was a dish pig in a restaurant on Hamilton Island. Mate sent me a tape of Aussie stuff. Paul Kelly, 1927, I still love listening to it.
Was a teenager from 85, lived in Sydney western suburbs Merrylands, was alive in the best time and place likely in history. But like everything its hindsight that informs us of this much missed truth. It honestly cant be explained to this generation that it was the last era of freedom. No rules, no cameras everywhere, no phones and Instagram hoes, just LIFE
With my night time job I always have the radio on triple m and after listening for a few years now I’ve definitely grown a much bigger appreciation for old school rock especially great Aussie bands like Aus crawl, Chisel, Midnight oil and the Angels.
IIRC the Reyne brothers went to Peninsula High School in Mount Eliza, on the Mornington Peninsula, Victoria, Australia (and most, if not all, of the other guys from Aussie Crawl did too...) I was in Grade 6 when this was released, growing up in country Victoria. Eat, sleep, go to school, ride your BMX with your mates, listen to cool music, play computer games. Things were so much simpler then. This song was part of the soundtrack of our lives back then. Still sounds mint in 2021. Ahh, the 1980's; great times, great music. Miss it more than words can describe... :|
Man these guys were good! I’m 38 yr old Aussie and have seriously neglected Aussie Crawl… all songs of my childhood, but had no idea they had all these hits! Amazing band ❤
Australian Crawl forever , greatings from Brazil , listening in November 2018 ! Good times gone by, grew up on this, year 8 high school in1983. Take me there now ! Aussie Ruiles!!!
I was in my first full time job that year. Hated it, and also went through a bad break up, so it's one of my least favourite years. But the music helped to make it bearable!
This song is an absolute classic.The same with Great Sthrn Land by Icehouse.The 80's were it when it came to music.Not like the music that is around today.I was a teenager in the 80's.God bless the 80's,best decade ever.
true, we had our own great bands like DD Smash , but we never had to look much further than over the ditch for most of our favourite bands; for a while, Dragon and Chisel, Crawl, Icehouse, INXS ruled the pub dancefloors.
Brilliant, best band I have seen live. I have seen The Rolling Stones, The Kinks and other big bands over my lifetime, but AC was so tight I can't tell you, that was back in 1982. Love the references in this song to things that are special to Aussies, like Circular Quay, Burke & Wills and Scott of the Antarctic. Beautiful and the musicianship is stellar
Lived in oz and kiwi land in the 70’s& 80’s Skyhooks, AC/DC , Stevie Write, Sherbert , the list goes on and on and only gets better. I’m trapped in those decades and for a very good reason…… I don’t live today, I’m just livin in the past.
Im from NewZealand first time hearing this song was when i was in my near teens, in the 80s Visiting family in brizzie, This master class Classic caught my ears.😂😂❤❤❤🎉❤❤🎉
My first time hearing them was today. I would have loved them in the 80's just as I do now. I agree, very under-rated. Could have made top 10 list in US easily in the 80's.
man growing up in australia during the time of aussie crawl was something that will never be repeated anywhere, the ripples of this music will keep flowing on through space and time for a long way to come yeah
I don’t know why. But this song is my all time favourite Aussie crawl song. Even though l don’t know half the lyrics. I love James Rynes voice. Especially how he joins words together so you can barley tells where he finishes. When l first got into crawl, my fav was boys light up. But after hearing there whole hits l love shutdown the most. Especially to sing to.
So. What happened? Why aren't Aussie kids churning out songs like this anymore. What happened? In 83, there were dozens of bands touring the nation on a weekly basis. What happened?
1985 I was 13 years old in south Brazil. This song was big back then. it was an amazing time , my first "reuniao dancante" . Dance party basically . It all seems like a lifetime away . Unfortunately Brazil is a much different country today. The afro beats took over and it's all been do down hill since then.
Great song, undeniable. The guitar playing of Simon Binks should be spoken about more though - such great melodies and hooks and emotion. He really elevated this song and so many Australian Crawl tunes. The classical solo and then the crying notes at the tail of the song.... just perfect!
Meet me down by the jetty landing Where the pontoons bump and spray I see the others reading, standing As the Manly Ferry cuts its way to Circular Quay Hear the captain blow his whistle So long she's been away I miss our early morning wrestle Not a very happy way to start the day She don't like that kind of behaviour [2x] So, throw down your guns Don't be so reckless Throw down your guns Don't be so Feel like Scott of the Antarctic Base camp too far away A Russian sub beneath the Arctic Burke and Wills and camels initials in the tree She don't like that kind of behaviour [2x] So, throw down your guns Don't be so reckless Throw down your guns Don't be so reckless She don't like that kind of behaviour [2x] So, throw down your guns Don't be so reckless Throw down your guns Don't be so reckless Throw down your guns Don't be so reckless Throw down your guns Don't be so reckless Don't be so... reckless Don't be so...
![Cold Chisel - Forever Now [Official Video]](/img/n.gif)
There was so much great music released in Australia in the '80s. We were spoilt and never realised it.😮
Agreed. We never really appreciated it.
The 80's in Australia were an absolute fantastic time to live.
Agreed
Now you have today's crap. 😭
Abso-bloody-lutely they were!
Left School , got my first Job , got my License, met the wife. The Hit charts still fill my ears 40 years later
Yes it was!
There is NO ONE else who can sing his songs like he can. He is a Legend. I'm 70 and I still crank his music up loud
I suggest you are a bogan
Happy new year Australia 2024 still listening to the band now 41yrs later

Damn near the perfect decade. I’ll always miss it.
As in Sydney....agree...damm near perfect decade with the live music scene.
And now there's no one. I stand to be corrected
kin oath, every kid in Aus had it good, love our sun burnt country ...
Hunters and collectors, screaming jets, Diesel, Hoodoo Gurus lol great memories
That's an impressive list, including the venues. To which I'd add The London Tavern in Caulfield.
The 70s and 80s rocked. Nothing will ever be as good again. Remember having the double cassette and as soon as your fav song came on the radio you pushed record then rewinded and replayed over and over again. Time of our lives💖
So I wasn't the only one that did that?
Who’s still connecting with this song in 2021? I am. I was 21 when this came out. Still a great Aussie track
21 January 2022.
Verdade sou brasileiro tenho 40 anos e me recordo mesmo sendo uma criança na época,tempos bons música atemporal!!!
Funny that I always thought they sounded like they had a lobotomy for this song. On youtube I wondered what it might sound like at ).25 faster than the normal speed....hmmm... not bad. Tried playing it at 50% faster than the original speed....... hey that's not bad either and the song finishes sooner.
11 March 2022...I was 19....I see our 80's music seems to be having a revival in the States.

Dragon were awesome too.
Timeless masterpiece!
The 80's was the best time to grow up! Soooo good! Time goes very fast!
Go to school, eat, sleep, surf, ping-pong, girls... no work, besides fixing my surfboards.
My high school time!!! love it!
Alex, I love your comment. Soooo funny
I’m glad u had a good time…hope ur still a happy Chappy…
Golden era for Aussie music. Guy McDonough is sorely missed.
As an Australian, I wish I was around when this music was coming out. So proud of my country. I cannot describe how this song makes me feel ❤️
80's where awesome very proud time in Australia history back then was a country full of love and respect wish it was still the same xxxx
@user name Cat & Fiddle, Three Weeds- Rozelle, Dee Why Hotel, Narrabeen Sands to name a small few. Bring back the pub scene I say.
@@jacquelinewilson2279 Really. Didn't get out much?
jesus it wasnt that long ago hahaha.

I'm 42 I will listen to this to the day I die
This song is as old as I am. It's been 41 years ago.
Perth, Fremantle, Melbourne, and Sydney from 1979 - 1981 was when my Navy ships sailed down under😎 the Equator.
Seeing this tonight at Toronto...Good old days....Woo Hoo!
This group and also ice underater.
These people are my favourite 😍
Man these guys were good! I’m 38 yr old Aussie and have seriously neglected Aussie Crawl… all songs of my childhood, but had no idea they had all these hits! Amazing band ❤
It wasn't until I lived in Sydney that I truly got the lyrics ... the song is however for Everyman ...
I used to love this song as a kid because of the ‘Manly Ferry’ line 😁
Australian Crawl forever , greatings from Brazil , listening in November 2018 !
Good times gone by, grew up on this, year 8 high school in1983. Take me there now !
Aussie Ruiles!!!
Good times gone by, grew up on this, year 8 high school in1983. Take me there now !
this must be the ole sectioners corner....hows it hanging fellars?
likewise yr8 in 83 ......we are a rare and lost generation - music will never be the same
I was in my first full time job that year. Hated it, and also went through a bad break up, so it's one of my least favourite years. But the music helped to make it bearable!
Bloody year 8 squirts. Just wait till you get into year 9 like me.
So I'm guessing I should say Happy 50th to you all, for some time this year. Well done, you made it!
This song is an absolute classic.The same with Great Sthrn Land by Icehouse.The 80's were it when it came to music.Not like the music that is around today.I was a teenager in the 80's.God bless the 80's,best decade ever.
totally agree....i hear it an think of the ferry on the harbour....just like Great Southern Land.....bloody great songs.
Gotta bop .
We lucky people born in the 50's & 60's had it so good in the 70's and 80's. No generation will ever have anything as good as we did!
Aussie Crawl.......loved over here In NZ on the other side of the ditch as well. Great band!

Word! One of my all time fav songs, and im a Kiwi :D

Rage takes me back, 😭
Lived in oz and kiwi land in the 70’s& 80’s
Skyhooks, AC/DC , Stevie Write, Sherbert , the list goes on and on and only gets better.
I’m trapped in those decades and for a very good reason…… I don’t live today, I’m just livin in the past.
Real music, real unassisted vocals as it should be!
Im from NewZealand first time hearing this song was when i was in my near teens, in the 80s Visiting family in brizzie, This master class Classic caught my ears.😂😂❤❤❤🎉❤❤🎉
And hello from Gold Coast, Queensland! Much ✌️🙏💜
👌🙏❤️
One of the greatest masterpieces ever brought to light. Deeply moving Crystal memories......
There are certain 80’s songs that give me an overwhelmingly painful and bittersweet sense of nostalgia. This is definitely one of them.
One of the best songs IVe ever heard.
As a Pom gotta say. Along wth goanna and Yothu Yindi Australian music kicks pure arse✌️😎💙🙌
my love for aussie music and bangas brought me here
BULABONG AWESOME SONG FROM NZ LOVE THIS ALWAYS RECKLESS HEARTY CHURR MANA
Que batida! Que melodia! Música perfeita! 🇧🇷😎
That it is our Brazilian friend
Ahhh, the early 80s. The problem with an era is, you don't realise it until its gone.
Some how this song captures the lazy, saturday afternoon in Sydney in summer ..
Love how these music clips are recorded from Rage. Forever etched in time. 🙌🔥
My first time hearing them was today. I would have loved them in the 80's just as I do now. I agree, very under-rated. Could have made top 10 list in US easily in the 80's.
Too late ..democrats gone cunt.
man growing up in australia during the time of aussie crawl was something that will never be repeated anywhere, the ripples of this music will keep flowing on through space and time for a long way to come yeah
Awesome!
Still going strong 34 years later!
Essa musica !! Quantas lembrancas !! saudades apertou o peito.
On ya mate.
Shit yeah
of course.
reminds me of a 80's hot summer
fantastic track absolutely exquisite a timeless classic
My good old countdown years. 12 years when this song came out and totally love it and still do. You guys are amazing. Take me back to the 80's any day
could listen to this every day ,well done aussie well done
Absolute Masterpiece 🎸🎼
Memories of camping at Swansea fishing with my old man and uncle, and my brothers.
2024 and this feels like the 80s still.
I like most of Autralian Crawl songs, so nice and relaxing.
AMOOOOO, Saudades deste tempo...que não volta mais...tempo da inocência
I don’t know why. But this song is my all time favourite Aussie crawl song. Even though l don’t know half the lyrics. I love James Rynes voice. Especially how he joins words together so you can barley tells where he finishes. When l first got into crawl, my fav was boys light up. But after hearing there whole hits l love shutdown the most.

Just thought of this song tonight after so many years. Must've last heard it on radio while still living in Oz in the 80's. Still a great song.
As the manly ferry cuts its way to circular quay memories of a great youth in a great country
As antigas são as melhores!!😍😍
So. What happened? Why aren't Aussie kids churning out songs like this anymore. What happened? In 83, there were dozens of bands touring the nation on a weekly basis.
What happened?
Essa música a gente volta no tempo
I love everything about this song forever 🎸💯😍❤😎
"as the Manly Ferry cuts its way to Circular Quay". James Reyne, brilliant song writer.
2023 40years old this song
I'm south african and only 29 but yet.. these golden oldies hit different
Stands the test of time. Would have still been a hit in the 90's too.
1985 I was 13 years old in south Brazil. This song was big back then. it was an amazing time , my first "reuniao dancante" . Dance party basically .
It all seems like a lifetime away . Unfortunately Brazil is a much different country today. The afro beats took over and it's all been do down hill since then.
Good old 80's song still listen to this in 2021
Great song, undeniable. The guitar playing of Simon Binks should be spoken about more though - such great melodies and hooks and emotion. He really elevated this song and so many Australian Crawl tunes. The classical solo and then the crying notes at the tail of the song.... just perfect!
'...the crying notes at the tail of the song...' Yes, so well said. The solo really makes it.
Hugely underrated. World class...simple ! 😎👍
Meet me down by the jetty landing
Where the pontoons bump and spray
I see the others reading, standing
As the Manly Ferry cuts its way to Circular Quay
Hear the captain blow his whistle
So long she's been away
I miss our early morning wrestle
Not a very happy way to start the day
She don't like that kind of behaviour [2x]
So, throw down your guns
Don't be so reckless
Throw down your guns
Don't be so
Feel like Scott of the Antarctic
Base camp too far away
A Russian sub beneath the Arctic
Burke and Wills and camels initials in the tree
She don't like that kind of behaviour [2x]
So, throw down your guns
Don't be so reckless
Throw down your guns
Don't be so reckless
She don't like that kind of behaviour [2x]
So, throw down your guns
Don't be so reckless
Throw down your guns
Don't be so reckless
Throw down your guns
Don't be so reckless
Throw down your guns
Don't be so reckless
Don't be so... reckless
Don't be so...
Thanx G
thank u
Thankyou very much. I never had a clue what this guy was saying...had to make up my own lyrics as an 8 year old.
The finger picking on that solo is so clean!
Australian bands of the 70's and 80's produced such great music, bring it all back, most of the music thereafter was rubbish
I live in Brazil and this song I listened to at parties in the 80's, it brought me many good memories
"....as the manly ferry cuts it's way to circular key". epic song, I'd think of this lyric each time I rode this ferry
Lol
He was gorgeous!
Met James a couple of years ago, had coffee with him as fan that was amazing !!!
Here from Kenya. I love the song. My dad played it. A lot
Still gives me chills🏁🤗
One of the greatest ever Aussie songs. Paul Kelly did a great version.
This is real trippy still after about 10000 listens
I’m listening to this on the Manly Ferry!
Perhaps the most beautiful Australian song ever composed.
Que música espetacular, era piá nessa época mas curto muito
Awesome band. Looking forward to hearing James new album. Great memories
