The Aussie biker culture

Exclusives with The Hell’s Angels, The Rebels, The Bandidos and others. Sydney : Kevin Weldon &​ Associates, 1984. Quarto, illustrated wrappers, light handling creases, edges rubbed, pp. 96, staple bound, with central leaf neatly detached (as usual), a good copy, extensively illustrated. Very scarce, especially in this condition.

A very scarce publication which provides an insight into the culture of Australian biker gangs, extensively illustrated with photographs of club members, the club houses, badges and insignia, biker tattoos, biker gear, bikes, bikers and biker girls. The publication includes a chapter on the Broadford rock festival 70 km north of Melbourne and a sombre account of the massacre at the Viking Tavern in Milperra, Sydney, where six club members and a teenage girl were killed in a shootout between the Comancheros and the Bandidos.

Two examples recorded in Australian and international collections (National Library of Australia; State Library of New South Wales)
