How did your wife and daughters respond to this new person in their family?

Well, after they got over the shock... So you hadn't told your wife?

What was that moment when you told her?

How did it happen?

Was it a huge relief for you?

Was it something you were conscious of keeping secret or did it just move to the back of your mind?

Going back to your days playing jazz at Sydney Grammar Rob, how did that morph into playing rock and roll?

I'm glad we finally worked out who that is for the oils, Rob.

The band you first formed together was called Farm.

Yeah.

Who was the singer?

How did you advertise or who did you invite?

You put an ad in the paper?

Because he was already at uni.

He's a few years older.

So how did Farm become Midnight Oil, or why did it become Midnight Oil?

I think about those early years where you were playing so many gigs right up and down the East Coast.

What were those gigs like and how did they shape the sort of sound that you came to have as yours?

What did you see at ACDC that you thought you could?

You did Garrett as well in satin.
