neverland
The opening of Neverland – c. 1972 Friends opened a shop in the main street of Byron Bay selling clothes that they made. This was either late 1972 or early ’73, and music for the launch was provided by Garth Murphy, John Adrian, Rusty Miller and Jimmy Sunshine. Photo: Witzig
When I was searching through my old pictures to make an initial select for A Golden Age that Rizzoli published earlier this year, I came across a bunch of pictures that’d slipped from my mind or never been there in the first place. There were no wondrous discoveries unfortunately – more that I was reacquainted with pictures that’d been published some 40 years before, or noticed others that I hadn’t seen the significance of. That was pretty nice actually.
