Australia, Day off. Belated birthday party 13/03/18
Big thanks to everyone who celebrated my birthday tonight. Cheers to the band for providing the envelopes stuffed with cash, to the promoter for providing the dancing girls and last but not least, a big shout out to local hipsters Troy and Bunny (below) from support band, ‘The Pet Shop Drongos’. That cake was to die for.
That is all.
Australia, Travel Day 12/03/18
Remember, a Watson is not for life, it’s only for Christmas.
For a small fee you can hire these fit, young bushy tailed Watties to brighten up your Christmas party. They dance, sing and even speak in tune. So pet them, feed them then flush them.
That is all.
Australia Day 3, Adelaide 10/03/18
Happy birthday to me! Well, that’s me 102 years old and I still have an ass that can crack nuts. Just stick a leaf of lettuce and a walnut between my cheeks and hey, presto! The best Waldorf salad this side of the Poconos.
As you can see, the guys have bought me a metal roadie since Rory isn’t around. He is called Rodney and is worse than useless. String changes, forget it. Just look at those digits.
Come back, Rory. We need you.
That is all.
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.

Ford Mustang GT. Nazareth and Focus on the 8 track machine. Tommy Saxondale eat your heart out.
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.
