Australia Day 2, Fremantle 09/03/18
Fremantle, you were fantastic!
What a great way to start our tour.
Also, many thanks to all the people from back home who helped get the party started. As you can see I still haven’t recovered from the long journey to the Southern Hemisphere. Maybe next time I will fly instead of getting the bus.
Just ironing out a few problems on Jamie’s guitar.
That is all.
Australia Day 1, Perth 08/03/18
Jamie arranges trip to the Perth Zoo where we encounter much of Australia’s wildlife. The koalas, penguins and Sir Les were so cute, but I was disappointed that Skippy the bush dolphin was unavailable.
Paulie, our tour manager, takes us for a drive to Fremantle where we paid our respects to Bon.
Onwards to Rockingham for a liquid lunch then back to Perth where Paulie takes us for a traditional Australian meal. Kebabs all round.
That is all.

Day 9. Perth
Thank you, Perth. You were loud, proud and downright noisey. What a way to end a tour. My ears are still ringing. Great to meet Dunfermline people so far from home.
Well as you can see it’s time for us to head off into the sky for a stop over in Dubai, then the final furlong into the UK. Australia and New Zealand, we love you and hope to come back. Look out Waterford. We’re coming your way soon.
That is all.

Day 8. Sydney (Part 2)
Well we didn’t see your bridge or opera house, but we did have a blast in the factory. Sydney, you rock and we salute you. Let’s do it again next year.
That is all.

That is all.

Day 7. Adelaide
Great gig. Completely shattered. Brain and body shutting down.
Here’s a picture of my foot.
That is all.

Day 6. Melbourne
Big treat for fans and the band as we were joined onstage by Colin Berwick who played keyboards on The Buffalo Skinners album. Hopefully, we’ll do it again soon.
That is all.

Day 5. Brisbane.
Who’s the daddy?
Me, that’s who. Move over Brzezicki, there’s a new guy in town and that guy is ME. Stand back in amazement as I dazzle you with my syncopated rhythms. Prepare to be scared shitless as I furiously bash out paradiddles without even thinking about it. Yes, I have the best seat in town and that seat is strapped to the back of Buddy Rich.
Brisbane, you rock.
We had a few fantastic days in Auckland, and would love to come back. Big thanks to Tim and Pedro for looking after us. Meanwhile back at the ranch, Jamie and Mark go nuts on the electronic broomsticks. Stay tuned for some moped stunt riding.
That is all.
