When Goanna came out with the following song in the early 80’s, it brought issues facing the Australian Aboriginal community into the mainstream. It was also a great song with great performances and songwriting to tell the story of the European invasion. The clip itself is from a performance on the now-defunct (yet at the time quite popular) Countdown, which I used to watch without fail with my brothers and sisters.

Love Goanna, a great song! Lead singer Shane Howard has just released a new album called ‘ Goanna Dreaming’ which takes me back over 30 years, I have just purchased the album and I recommend it, if you liked Goanna, it can be purchased from Shane’s website which is http://www.shanehoward.com.au, thanks for the video!

Hehe. Apparently Shane just performed in Eumundi for the tour. I can’t help but smile over that, as so many artists forget these wonderful heartland towns. It says a lot about a musician when they are willing to go to the smaller communities to give a show. ::heart::
