Music video shot and directed by Antony Clare & Kriv Stenders. Edited by Annette Davey. Produced by Liz Cotter. 1988.
"This was one my first ever music videos. I made it with Antony Clare, a friend from Brisbane and the idea was based on the photographic style of one his short films from art college. We shot this in my last year at filmschool and I remember we travelled by car from Brisbane, to Sydney and then Melbourne filming various members of the band in their favourite parts of each city. We were completely exhausted at the end of it all. It was shot on old 16mm reversal film and edited by hand on a Steenbeck by Annette Davey who is now an established feature film editor in New York. I remember the band really liked the clip when we first showed it to them, but the record company then got legendary Australian music video director, Paul Goldman to re-shoot it for the US and UK market. That was my first, humbling introduction to the music video industry. But still I'm very proud and chuffed to have got the chance to make a music video for one of Australia's greatest ever bands. Check out Paul's version here - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3XDmasbARtE "

By far the better video it captures the feel of the track , a real time and place feeling , even more if you have lived in one of these inner cities . Its a shame this is all gone .

Not my favourite GBs track but a cracking vid as usual (can't blame them for trying to 'break through' into the mainstream and get some recognition) .... Killer lead break !

I'd say this version is waaay better than the so called 'proper' one.

Oh this song really brings back memories! I just heard it while watching the movie 'Motherhood' and had to look it up.
I grew up in Melbourne town during the 80s. Even though we only see glimpses of it, the video and music took me right back there!

I keep playing this as it's so 'feel good' ... yet a tinge of sadness as well... as I cant visit every town that I'd like to
Thanks for posting xx
