Sydney Summer '86
The soundtrack to an Australian summer — August 1986 to February 1987. These were the songs blasting from 2Day FM 104.1, pub jukeboxes and Bondi Beach across Sydney. From Prince and Madonna to John Farnham and Crowded House, this is what a 20-year-old Swede heard Down Under — including the Australian Made festival finale on Australia Day 1987, with INXS and Jimmy Barnes.
