	Australian indie rock - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Australian indie rock is part of the overall flow of Australian rock history but has a distinct history somewhat separate from mainstream rock in Australia, largely from the end of the punk rock era onwards.
		Rock and roll in Australia got started in the late 1950s and 1960s, influenced by the sounds coming from the USA and UK.
		Bands who did not fit this manifest were largely left behind by this process, and did attract smaller audiences (predominantly in their 20s and based in bohemian inner urban areas).
