About this album

Spirit Of Place is Goanna’s striking debut and the album that made the band a major force in early-1980s Australian rock. Released in 1982, it pairs accessible soft-rock melody with pointed social and political themes, giving the record uncommon purpose and reach. Led by the enduring anthem Solid Rock (Sacred Ground), the album helped bring Indigenous and environmental concerns into mainstream Australian popular music. Its blend of acoustic drive, electric punch and urgent songwriting made Goanna stand out from its contemporaries, and Spirit Of Place remains the group’s defining statement and best-known release.
