AC/DC memories live on
In January 1976, Malcolm Fraser was Prime Minister of Australia, Rupert Hamer was Premier of Victoria and Cr Jim Dunn was Mayor of the City of Ararat. It was a time of cultural vibrancy and turmoil, defined by the rise of disco and punk music, iconic bell-bottoms and flamboyant fashion. 15th January 1976 was the day when internationally recognised band AC/DC appeared live on stage at Ararat Town Hall. It was a huge coup for our town, and there are plenty of people still around to tell their story about seeing the great band and its antics up close and personal.
Robert Shea and Joanne Hutchinson have strong memories of the AC/DC concert at the Ararat Town Hall 50 years ago last Thursday.
