Such a moving song by an incredible song-writer.

[@simondanielsen1911]

Its a bloody classic. I was born in 1967, I never saw Chisel live and have never served. But this song is easily my number 1 of all songs ever, it sends chills up my spine every single time I hear it. I relate to the themes of restlessness, inability to settle and estrangement from society, attraction to Asia (hit a few honk-tonk mattresses in my time), work in remote areas of Australia (I ve been in and out of mining camps since the mid-80s). Its got it all.
I feel it is a very personal song that defines my life to me, and I am not a veteran. So that's a great song.
Thank you Don Walker.

Be upstanding for Australia’s unofficial national anthem …. Thank you Don, you’re a legend!

[@andypandy8569]

Thank you.

Was never going to be anything for anyone except me and my band mates?
Understatement of all time.
Thank you Mr Walker.

Don, these snappy interviews are a genius little legacy of Australiana for us all. Bravo, book on order.

That social divide Don talks about is greater than ever. It’s awesome he didn’t sell-out his own people as most in the same position would these days.

Interesting. Yes, that city/country divide still exists to this day, to a large extent.

"I left my heart to the sappers 'round Long Tan". Aussie enough for you?
