‘Old’ Thirroul inspires local band’s new song
Anyone old enough to have been around the thriving Wollongong music scene during the 1990s would probably remember the Rex Hotel in Thirroul.

The beer flowed freely, and the security was lax enough to allow the occasional underage punter a chance to see a show that they legally shouldn’t have been able to.
