Thanks for those well described memories.
I dont' recall all the venues. Recall seeing Melbourne band, Australian Crawl, at Sydney Uni. This was in the early days of their recording history.

Their first single
(Btw, produced by Little River Band's guitarist David Briggs).
Some used to say they couldn't make out the words when James Reyne sang. So here are the lyrics.
I said, Beau-tiful People, they've gotta a Robert Palmer T-shirt in their travel bag
Beau-tiful People they've got a passport hey yeah
I said, Beau-tiful People, they've got some friends that just flew in from L.A
Beau-tiful People, they havn't really much to say.
*Chorus*
I said, People, they just wanna take you
People, they just wanna make you
People, they just wanna break you down
They just wanna take you down
I said, Beau-tiful People, they ride two-hundred dollar push-bikes in the park
Beau-tiful People, they won't admit it but they make love in the dark
Beau-tiful People, snap frozen party carp in the corner of the sitting room
Beau-tiful People, decore Sonic Boom
Chorus
...wanna take you down
yes they do, uh oh
they 're gonna get to you
I said, Beau-tiful People, you know they're going out tonight to get their Bombay Rocks off
Beau-tiful People, they 've got a carawin condition, gotta cocaine cough
Beau-tiful People, studio 54 is the only place to dance
Beau-tiful People, you know the gardens full of furniture, the house is full of plants
