flashback fridays hippie days


Hello to all Flashbackers!
This photo was taken in 1980 at the Sidney Myer Music Bowl at one of many events labelled F.E.I.P. (for free entertainment in the park) I guess it was a jazz music concert, as my folks were pretty into a bit of JAAAAZZZZZZZZ. Of course, even though I look quite happy in this photo, I found the whole jazz thing extremely tragic and boring as only a sophisticated teenager could.
Still, it looks like it was a beautiful day and I am wearing the hippie-ish batik pants suit thing which was elasticated around the chest region(to hold it up of course)
I have gone on to drag my own kids to some lovely outdoor music events and I fear they are on the cusp of pre-teenager rebellion. Won't be long now!! Cue exaggerated eye rolling and deep sighing.
I am eating a black stump.
Kerrie, that comment was for you!
