Here is the briefest of brief glimpses at the Myponga "progressive pop music" festival, c/- Youtube (Channel 7 and the Grape Organisation):

By 1974, the band Flake bore little resemblance to most earlier line-ups, with none of the members of the 1969 group remaining and only Billy Russell remained from the lineup which had played at Myponga. Guitarists Billy Russell and John Taylor were joined by three new members all previously with the group Blackfeather: singer Neale Johns as well as Jim Penson (drums), Warren Ward (bass). There aren't many photos around of that line-up except for this one:

From exactly 50 years ago, c/- Wikipedia, the acts and times for the 1971 Myponga Music Festival; the list of bands is remarkable for the fact that the Sunbury festival was also being held over the same weekend.
