It looks like it was a 'made for a TV show' video; but it's hard to distinguish back then what was a 'real' music video vs. what wasn't. Daryl messes his lip sync up at one point in this just-over-1-minute clip, so I assume it was all or mostly done in one take.
Scott - I don't know if it's the same performance/video used on Countdown, but I have a Sherbet greatest hits DVD.
It's Daryl sitting down next to a dog, wearing a shirt with red stripes on it.
Very different to the one on the DVD then. This has Daryl wearing a green open-shirt satin thing, and is a full band live performance with a studio audience.
If you or Scott or anyone else wants it or other clips from the DVD just let me know.

The 15 second snippet I've used in the top 100 of 1976 video starts at 11:10 minutes into the video, if you want to see it.

Thank you Brad I have the sherbet DVD. My Dad is a sherbet fan and he said it is the original rock me gently clip. He is also a Mad Hush fan and if anyone has any original clips such as Glad all over, Too young to know , Nothing stay the same forever etc. would be really appreciate if you can upload on YouTube thank you.
Please ignore this link. I removed this upload after spotting a couple of rage titles I forgot to include in it... I'll post the amended video link soon.
You almost seem to forget just how "BIG' Country Music was as a chart entity during the early years of the 1970s. This brought all that back to me. It also was the year I started to develop my musical tastes (sadly was unaware of the group Taste at this point) that would mature and develop in the decades to come. It also saw the revival of Australian recordings on the charts and the first notches in many a now long career for many artists. A nice touch on the video was the more professional approach of the TOTP dancers, a level that the Countdown dance crew would only equal by decades end.
I've made a video featuring top 10 singles from the 1990s that do not appear in the end of year top 100 chart, plus #11-peaking singles from the 1990s that also missed the end of year chart:
I can definitely sense a decline in the quality of the music in this from around the mid 90s.
I may do a 1974 top 100 video in the future, but the 1975 one was a bit difficult in that I had to use TV performances for most of the 'videos', as a lot of songs don't have proper music videos (or, at least, they're not on YouTube) or a TV performance was used as the music video. Plus, 1974 is the first year that the Kent Music Report published these charts at the time. While David Kent later back-calculated annual (and weekly) charts for earlier years, I don't consider these official, as they were not published at the time. I'm not sure if the Go-Set charts (which preceded the Kent Music Report) published an annual chart.
Rage certainly aired a top 50 for 1988 as i remember staying up all night to watch it. As mentioned elsewhere there were several videos not played. I'm guessing they were running short of time.
JASE, I think it's more likely that rage discarded those videos they didn't air in the top 50 of 1988, though I guess it's possible that they also ran out of time. As it would have been the first annual chart they aired, they probably didn't know in advance that it was coming - so though they could chuck out videos they no longer 'needed' once they' fallen out of the top 50. Or so that's my theory.
I made a mistake in the top 10 (and #11) singles of the 1990s that missed the end of year chart video (I included a song that actually did make the end of year chart - Cliff Richard's 'The Millennium Prayer'), so here is the amended version - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PTvNcrd-jjs
A video I compiled containing singles that peaked within the ARIA top 20 singles chart (but not within the top 10 or at #11) from 1989-1990 that did not make the end of year top 100 charts:

I amended my 1987-1988 top 20 singles that did not make the end of year top 100 charts, as I omitted Jerry Harrison's 'Man With a Gun' on my earlier upload. Here's the corrected video:
I've had to re-edit some of these uploads to avoid issues with copyright ID. It seems now that WMG and UMG are identifying tracks where only 15 seconds have been used in a video - and, occasionally, the videos are blocked as a result ::)
New and improved Australian top 50 singles of 1986. Rage have aired 8 more videos from this since I uploaded the first version in June 2017!:
