at the pub, or at a party, whenever you're stuck, for what to say,
if
you wanna be dinky-di, why don't you give it a try,

We
can't afford to put fuel in the car so we're taking a radio road
trip.
Wide
Open Road - the Triffids, from Born Sandy Devotional, a 1986 release,
This version from the expanded 2006 reissue.
Road
Trip - Adrian Kosky, it was on his album The High Side of the Low
End, from 2006. Before taking up the guitar, Kosky was renowned as a
player of the mountain dulcimer. He splits his time between western
Victoria in Australia and Clarksdale, Mississippi.
Time
To Go - the Davidson Brothers, true blue Victorian bluegrass players,
from their 2014 album Wanderlust.
West
Coast Cosmic Highway - Datura 4, the title track of their 2020 album.
Datura 4 is one of several musical projects led by Dom Mariani, who
also provides extra music for The Down Under Hour each week with his
band the Majestic Kelp.
Devil
On the Road -
Dirt River Radio, from 2009, their album Beer Bottle Poetry.
Ride
On - AC/DC, from the album Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap, released in

Treasures
from the vault, and a detour from our radio road trip
No
More War - Billy Thorpe and the Aztecs, it was on an album titled
More Arse Than Class, a 1974 release. If you say it with an Aussie
accent, arse rhymes with class.
War
Or Hands of Time - the Masters Apprentices, from 1967, their debut
album. This version was on a 2009
Aztec Music compilation titled The Master’s Apprentices.
I
Was Only 19 - Redgum, a 1983 single and it was on their 1983 album
Caught In the Act. The lyrics describe the plight of soldiers
returning home after fighting in the war in Vietnam and receiving
shabby treatment from the government and from people in the
community.
Our
radio road trip continues, maybe in a new 1966 Holden car
It's
A Long Way There - Little River Band, from their 1975 debut album.
Recorded in Sydney.
Let's
Go - King Stingray, it was on their self-titled debut album, a 2022
release. They're from northeast Arnhem Land and their songs have
lyrics in English and Yolŋu Matha. Several of the band's founding
members have relatives from renowned First Nations bands Yothu Yindi
and Warumpi Band.
Ride
Around the World - the Cartwheels, from their 2014 album At Home.
After
a long day of travel...
Get
Drunk, Ring Yer Friends - Tim Rogers, it's from an expanded CD
version of Dress Me Slowly, an album he made in 2001 with his band
You Am I, but this song is on a bonus disc by another of his groups,
called the Temperance Union.
Dom
Mariani and the Majestic Kelp start us off, move us along, and tell
us when we're done.
