About this audio guide
This guide to Point Walter Reserve in Bicton, part of Perth's Melville area, traces the free concert tradition running on its riverside lawn since nineteen ninety-six. It follows the event back to its scrappy start under Melville's own Youth Advisory Council, when local Perth bands like Birds of Tokyo and Bob Evans played for free before either act was known beyond the city. It also touches the sandbar that still surfaces at low tide below the same lawn.
