Bobbie and LauriNever heard of them. Did any of their hits make it in the USA,in NYC?,WABC<WMCA,WOR-FM,WCBS FM. The only group mentioned in the article that I heard of,was the Seekers. I was a real listener and buyer of 45's in the late 60's.

I don't believe that they had any impact outside Australia. —Moondyne 06:31, 2 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

But they were big in Australia. They appeared regularly on Bandstand, one of the most important cultural icons of 1960's Australia. I'm amazed it's still such a tiny article. How quickly we forget. -- JackofOz (talk) 01:28, 7 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
