Kevin Hall

Posted: May 15, 2016 at 4:02 pm

This pic of Kevin Hall at Elouera just turned up out of the blue from an old mate recently. His little sister had it and must have kept it all these years.
On the Holden is his 1st custom shape from Michael Peterson a 6′ 6″ Rounded Square, everyone else down here where still on Pintails. Mick shaped it like the one seen in M.O.T.E. “the cutback” but his had a 14″ fin and fuller nose.
The lost but found pic blew Kevin out , to finally see all these years later the old Holden and the MP sitting there!

Gunnamatta Outdoor Pavilion ’77

Posted: April 3, 2016 at 11:50 pm

4th September 1977. The Gunnamatta outdoor pavilion. The NZ band “Mother Goose” performing at a Double J “out door” concert in front of a big crowd. Their appearance on stage was bizarre, each member portraying a different character, a sailor, a pixie, a mouse, a ballerina and a bumble bee. Tim Vanderlaan Photo.
