About

This site is to keep alive the facts about the start of the popular music phenomenon in Australia so future generations will knopw how it really happened and what those who were involved thought about it and their own careers..

How it started

In 1984 after returning to Australia, Lonnie was told by his peers and associates that historians did not take our original Australian Rock’n’Roll era seriously. They said some were not old enough to know or were even in Australia at the time, so only told their story from their own experiences. As Lonnie was an IT professional and website builder, he set about creating a website called rootsofaussierock.com so the correct information could be available to anyone who wanted to know about that early era.

Our Philosophy

This is some dummy copy. You’re not really supposed to read this dummy copy, it is just a place holder for people who need some type to visualize what the actual copy might look like if it were real content.

How it happened

Lonnie and his wife Suzanne gave his peers a series of many questions about their life and career and their answers have become the content of this site. This is exactly how they saw it. Some were given the questions in paper form whilst others were interviewed by phone or in person. Those were were interviewed will have the actual interview linked to their pages.
