The line-up featured James Reyne, brothers Bill and Guy McDonough, Paul Williams, Robert Walker and Simon Binks.
[1] Robinson co-wrote Australian Crawl's early song "Indisposed" with his father, and bandmates James Reyne and Bill McDonough.
The song describes the car accident which resulted in Reyne breaking both wrists immediately before they recorded their first single "Beautiful People" (1979).
[11] During 1981 Robinson was briefly married to actress, Kerry Armstrong,[12][13] later an Australian Film Institute Award winner,[14] and they co-wrote "Easy On Your Own",[9] which was also B-side of the single, "Errol".
"[12] Armstrong received a scholarship to study at the Herbert Berghof acting school in New York City and wanted to emigrate to the US.
[13] In early 2018, she described the relationship with Robinson, "I think everyone should hold on to their first great love and be grateful... [but] I know there are no accidents because I have come out of it with these three absolutely gorgeous young men as sons.
[1][2] After Australian Crawl disbanded Robinson moved into a career in television (with Network Ten's Page One) and as a co-producer of documentaries.
