Donald Robertson in conversation with John Schumann

Former Roadrunner and Countdown Magazine editor Donald Robertson talks to John Schumann about his new memoir/anthology 'My Back Pages' ‘Resigned as I am to the fact that neither Redgum nor I will rate anything more than a passing mention in this book, truth compels me to say this: as a writer, Donald has always been able to find his way from the uppercase to the period with elegance, insight, erudition and what passes for humour among the Scottish.’ —John Schumann. The Governor Hindmarsh's Balcony Bar is a private upstairs room with its own bar, sound system and staff. Note - access to the Balcony Bar is by stairway only. Signed copies of 'My Back Pages' will be available to purchase on the night. Details of the book, including a list of contents, are available on the roadrunnertwice website - https://roadrunnertwice.com.au/2026/08/my-back-pages/ Main image above: Donald Robertson in the Roadrunner office, Kent Town, 1981.
