We are the measure of all things. And the beauty of our creation,
of our art is proportional to the beauty of ourselves, of our souls

Morning of the Earth LIVE Concerts 2012
In 1972 one film defined a music, a lifestyle… a generation
Featuring stunning surfing sequences from Bali, Angourie, Kirra, Oahu, Maui and elsewhere, Morning of the Earth has been universally acclaimed as perhaps the greatest surfing film ever made. But it is much more than that. It is the surf movie that has, and will always, have the biggest impact on surfing in Australia. The soundtrack from Morning Of The Earth was the first Australian soundtrack album to go Gold.
With the blessing of its creator Albe Falzon, Morning Of The Earth has been re-edited and remastered to highlight the simple beauty of one of the few true Australian Classic Films and its story – the dream of every surfer to search for the perfect wave
Morning Of The Earth LIVE will bring together a veritable who’s who of Australia’s musicians to breathe new life into this classic soundtrack. Featuring Brian Cadd, Mike Rudd, Lior, and more.
Performed by some of Australia’s greatest musicians, screened at some of Australia’s most iconic theatres, Drive-In movie theatres and breathtaking coastal locations, this live performance film event will be the highlight of the 2012 summer season.

In the early 70's I made Morning of the Earth because I really wanted to make a positive film about surfing and the world. I always wanted to make a surfing film, you know, ever since I saw the early Bud Brown films in Australia that were just starting to come in from overseas. They were the first surfing films to arrive. When I saw those I was pretty inspired by what he was doing.
I was designing books at the time and I remember doing this design for the Catholic church, and I was commissioned to do it by two nuns. I remember walking along the street with them one day, and they were really lovely these women, and they said what do you really want to do with your life, what would you really like to do if you had the opportunity to do whatever you wanted to do, what would you like to do? And I said that I'd like to make a really beautiful, positive film about the world. That's what I'd like to do. And you know not long after that I was travelling up and down the coast making a surfing film and Morning Of The Earth came from it.
This is a website dedicated to the movie, the people, the lifestyle.
