As a live music venue, Adelaide’s Crown and Anchor hotel – fondly known as the Cranker – typically pulls its biggest crowds on a Friday or Saturday night. But on Sunday morning thousands of music fans turned out before the doors had even opened, before marching to Parliament House led by a live band on a flatbed truck, Acca Dacca-style.
For Evan Morony, a 44-year-old disability support worker who helped organise the rally, the turnout demonstrated a deep sense of community beneath the pub’s rock’n’roll image.
