The Swingin' Surf Rock Shindig - Episode 25 "WITW 12: Australia"

We have a real ripper of a show in store. The Wayout mobile takes us 10,277 miles from Rochester, NY to the land down under, but that's not even one mile for each of the nearly 11,000 beaches on the shores of Australia. It's truly a surfers' Mecca and the sport and music are deeply woven into the fabric of life in the world's 6th largest country on the world's smallest continent. In the 1950s, surfing was so popular that the Australian government created laws to curb surfing during working hours, that only resulted in more people surfing than ever before.  Australia took its place in the forefront of surf from the genre's earliest days thanks to legendary surf band "The Atlantics" and their hit "Bombora". There's heaps of great music ahead, so pull on your budgie smugglers and dive in with me.
