Following a camping trip to Hill End and Tambaroora in October 1973, and numerous campfire songs, Allan Chard and Ray Christison decided to form a band. This pair of misfits shared a mutual appreciation of a variety of musical genres including folk, blues, country, bluegrass and the amazing 'Self Portrait' album by Bob Dylan.
During early to mid 1974 Allan and Ray gathered around them a group of young people who were crazy enough to be 'different' and a new jug band was formed.
The photographs show the campsite on Tambaroora Common where Allan and Ray first explored their mutual appreciation of music and each other.
