Roadrunner
Roadrunner was a rock magazine published in Adelaide
between 1978-83. Though primarily focused on Australian and
overseas rock music, it also covered areas of the burgeoning
counterculture and issues such as punk. The final edition of
December 1982 / January 1983 was published in Sydney. To accompany
the release of this collection in May 2017, publisher Donald
Robertson penned a history of the magazine. It is available
