...we'll get to that later. 

We’ve been to sunny/tropically rainy Queensland this weekend.  Two shows in all.  One at The Sands Tavern in Maroochydore, and one at the stunningly beautiful Woodfordia site.  It’s the place where the Woodford Folk Festival is held every year (around Christmas).  This weekend was their Planting weekend, where a bunch of committed ticket holders paid for the privilege of planting trees to help regenerate the site.  It’s a marvelous idea. 

We played as the entertainment for the Saturday night, along with fellow Bombers supporter, Glenn Richards (of Augie March fame), and Melbourne lads Bonjah.  We met lots of wonderful people and enjoyed ourselves thoroughly.  We’d like to thank (in no particular order) Bill, Jan, Katie, Jade, Avalon, Alice, Dillon, Malcolm, Jeff, Ross, Rod Quantock, Glenn, Carly, Sarah, Scott, Alex, and anyone else we may have forgotten for making us feel so welcome, showing us the sights, finding us towels, and making us laugh, think and chant for football teams.

There was, however, an small incident with a rogue wheelie bin and a hire car, but we came out of that OK.  In the title fight of Matheson Vs Wheelie bin, Matheson came out on top.  We're winners.

As we fly back into Victoria, we’re looking to the week ahead – Tuesday night at Northcote Social Club with The Underminers Duo and Epicure, then Saturday at the Curtin Band Room in Calrton with Custom Kings. 

So, with one hectic week behind us and another one about to commence, it’s a good opportunity to reflect on what we’ve learnt.  I learned never to trust a GPS unit.  Aaron learned to pack more paracetamol, and Mark learned about Dongas (look it up - its not rude).  Plus, thanks to Ross, our trusty bus driver, we all learned where to weigh a whale.  You’ve probably heard it before, but it was news to us – you weigh a whale at a Whale Weigh Station!  Ba-hahahahaha.  Oh, Ross.  Thanks for the memes.

See you at a show soon
