  Welcome to an overview of the History of Australian Rock-n-Roll. It starts around 1956 and leaves off in the mid 60's when some structure had been achieved and managements had started to control the industry. Previously it had been totally motivated by emotions and a pure love of the then 'new' music.

Profits up to the mid 60's were measured in fun times, rather than money, which was and still is, to its detrement, the major driving force of today's Australian popular music industry.
