    As a 15 year old Australian, I love ALL of Peter Allen's songs. He is one of the best and most underrated Singers, Songwriters, Pianists, Musicians and Entertainers to ever live. REST IN PEACE LEGEND! Gone far too soon. 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

      He remained an Australian citizen throughout his life. His lesser known song, "Bryden's Song" is a good Australian song too, though it has bittersweet lyrics. Love your comment!

All of these and video clips were on display in a major exhibition supported by bands playing his songs. You could even buy replicate shirts of various designs. This festival took place next to the Hall where Peter performed in front of Charles and Diana.

      How cool is that - a rhyming book and shirt replicas!!!!! I want a shirt replica! It's not the real shirt, but who cares!!!! I wonder if the Arts Centre has an online gift shop that still sells these shirts!? Probably not, but it would be nice if they reissued them for the 30th anniversary of his death coming up this year.

    I went to his last concert in Brisbane in the 80's or maybe early 90's? with my mother, and it's a lovely memory with Mum. We moved later to better seats because there were a lot empty , and as a 7 yo I remember thinking why isnt it full. Of course, I didnt mind! Now being nostalgic, Peter Allen was not appreciated and followed for the talent he was because he was gay. Times have changed , but i feel sad for him, he was not treated with respect that he deserved. An Australian icon that lives through his music.

      It should become the National Anthem. Most people prob know these lyrics more than the real anthem.
