There was good (communist) ABC tv doco on a commune in the SW of WA where Matt Taylor lived for a while.
He questioned the guru leader why he (Taylor) was taking his turn in emptying the poo buckets whereas the guru wasn't. Got some bs reply so he left.

Hippies in Oz lasted well into the eighties - in 1984 I met a busful from Nimbin in Port Douglas on their way to attempt to stop a coastal road being built by Sir Joh through the rainforest.
They didn't beat the Qld coppers of course but at least they had a go.
To avoid dramas with plod on the way up they kept the bus drug-free but I put a stop to that.
