@StinkyKnobcheese I went to school in 'The Pines' estate - Monterey High 1974 & 1975, lived in the estate for a few months in '74. You're right about the honour code, I've always hated bullies and they deserve to cop some of their own treatment - i'm glad those Sharps took care of it for you.

@AussieBamBam Damn! Were you in the pines? My mum sent me down the local fish and chip shop to get dinner. I was running along the shopping strip and this kid about 13 tripped me up and dinner got squashed. There were 3 sharpies hanging around around the shops and they gave the kid a bit of a hiding for picking on a little kid. They had a certain sense of honour.

Yes, true, and if you go back even further, the native indians had mohawks too.

I've seen pics of greasers/hell's angels in the 50's and 60's with mohawks. US & UK. Sorry.

Melbourne: The 80sby AussieGuy1983500 views
Aussie bam bam, you were well ahead of your time and were probably the first person ever to have a mohawk in Australia. Six years after this film the English punk scene would start adopting the mohawk haircut. Chalk one up for the Aussies.

Im the guy with the Mohawk at 2:17, aged 16.A Frankston Sharp at the time, later that year a Melbourne Sharp. It was an amazing concert. It was called Summer Jam because the last band of the night was to be a compilation of various members from all of the concerts bands, on stage together in a massive jam session. Thats what drew over 1000 Sharpies from the suburbs of Melbourne to the one event, to be there when 2 of our Rock Icons Lobby Loyde and Billy Thorpe jammed together on stage.
