Packing: "No, darling, the spear-gun doesn't go in the Removal Truck...the spear-gun stays with me. It's a long drive to Victoria and there ain't no way of knowing what will be necessary."


Morning moving-house music is usually the B52s and Acid Jazz. 2pm its all AKB48 and Heavy Rotation. By 7pm it is all Louisiana Delta Blues. By 9pm its all Trance. By 10 pm I'm out on the stoop with ma homies shredding flakka, n busting caps into skinny white cop asses.


Sometimes packing boxes/moving house brings with it the same kind of angst that Clint Eastwood displayed in that great Movie, The Unforgiven. Half way through every day you kinda think...wouldn't it be easier just to go out and kill people for money?


So, from about the 19th of December the blog and facebook will post our daily travels in the Nissan Navara Dual Cab white-bloke Ute, or Pick Up, from Cairns, here in the lost far north of tropical Australia, day by day, for the 2500 mile journey Dead South across 3 states to Melbourne in Victoria, Australia. We are going via the Coast Road to Sydney then Inland to Canberra (whatever the fuck that is) and then down the central Hume Highway, to Melbourne, Victoria. Not to be too OCD about it, of course...but...ETA at the new abode in Doncaster Road, Balwyn, Melbourne, Victoria: 27 Dec, at 8.39am.
