In the summer of 2008, iconic surfer and former Pipe Master Rob Machado flew to Indonesia to experience a different kind of surf trip.

Morning of The Earth
4:00pm Sunday 8 November
Morning of the Earth, the seminal 1970's surf film, is now a live-in-concert music and film experience. After sold out concerts in Sydney and Melbourne in 2008, the only place to see it this summer is at the Manly Festival of Surfing at North Head, Manly.
The Morning of the Earth show features the full-length film played as the backdrop to performances of the full soundtrack by original writers and performers Brian Cadd and Tim Gaze (Tamam Shud). Together they create an atmosphere of the 70's lived out in the sound and sight technology of today.
Tickets will be on sale shortly at www.ticketmaster.com.au
Strategically located at the entrance to Sydney Harbour, North Head still retains much evidence of its military past, including Art Deco barracks and a grand parade ground. more info on concert site
