Like Roger, my first one also was Brisbane 1974 at which we Top Enders presented a themed concert titled 'Blood, Crows and Gallows'. I was at perhaps a dozen others, but only one - 2002 - since it became fixed in Canberra. I was also at the second Brisbane one at which Bogle's 'Band Played Waltzing Matilda' was judged third in the songwriting competition to the amazement/horror of the crowd!
