Yes, it’s a big question. To hear Bon Scott speak he was undeniably Australian, yet I think the fact that they were migrants had a huge impact on their success. Firstly, no cultural cringe. Secondly, no cultural binding, so a much more f*ck you attitude. Many Australians are more conservative than you’d expect. If a convict nation needs an anthem, that anthem is Jailbreak. It’s a long way to the top, if you’ve seen the clip, features the band on the back of a flatbed truck rolling down Swanston St. I think our restaurant (or close to) even appears in the background at one point.


Before our time obviously, but that clip inspired my wife to move to Swanston St.

After Bon? International?
