McLachlan was born on 15 January 1954 in the small town of Riverton, near Invercargill, New Zealand.[1] He came to Australia in 1974 to join the touring band for the stage musical Godspell.[2]
In 1975, McLachlan was invited to join the supergroup Little River Band, replacing the short tenure of Dave Orams.[3] He appeared on the first two albums Little River Band and After Hours, and toured extensively, making 311 appearances with the band.[4] He was replaced by George McArdle in 1976.[5] By 1998, all original members of Little River Band had left. Guitarist Stephen Housden revived the band, and asked McLachlan to re-join. He remained with the band for a year, until the pressure of touring in the United States led him to depart again.[6]
McLachlan joined country-rock outfit Stars in 1976, remaining with them into 1977.
He is part of the Stars re-formed lineup of 2019.[7]
