Southern Stars is the fourth studio album by Australian hard rock band Rose Tattoo.

[4] Anderson explained the band's high turn-over rate, "people who got the chop were those who just couldn't cut it musically... [they] thought that a 30-day tour was a 30-day party.

[3] A writer for The Canberra Times observed, "[it's] imbued with a sense of awareness that may surprise more than a few followers... [while] still holding fast to the pure principles of 'rock 'n roll'.

[4] Rose Tattoo toured Australia in support of the album and it was well received, but by late 1985, Anderson put the band into a year-long hiatus due to his acting commitments.

It was the last Rose Tattoo album, which was produced by Harry Vanda and George Young.
