Such a moving song by an incredible song-writer.
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!
Thank you.
Was never going to be anything for anyone except me and my band mates?
Understatement of all time.
Thank you Mr Walker.
Fascinating insight into one of Australia's finest songwriters/musicians 🤘🤘🤘
" I'm going nowhere and I'm in a hurry" classic
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.
Brilliant

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?

Fucking awesome Don. Hope you got that ZB to a respectable speed
Milkbar in Kings Cross before Mc death replaced it .. wonder if it had Booth Seating on the Harbour Side and Milk bar on the City Side.. didn't get to visit the Cross until the Eightys.. so not sure if it's in my memory bank or not..

its AHISTORICAL, unforgivable, shouldn't be allowed, no aussies ever in khe Sanh. Outrage. Fun with words and stories. Ahistorical.
