The Great Australian Dream - Graeme Connors[00:00:00]
Written by:Graeme Connors[00:00:00]
I turned west in search of something I'd never seen before[00:00:13]
The kind of vision splendid banjo saw[00:00:21]
With a fresh roll in my camera and an eye for things unique[00:00:27]
I left my mobile phone at home and went outback for a week[00:00:35]
I stood beneath the tree of knowledge let my imagination run[00:00:42]
Way back to the great shearer's strike of '91[00:00:50]
As I quietly contemplated all that tragic history[00:00:56]
A tour bus full of kids from the city pulled up in front of me[00:01:03]
And its baseball caps on backwards like they wear 'em in LA[00:01:12]
Coca Cola Nike shoes and Oakley shades[00:01:19]
Here in the middle of the heartland I feel I'm caught between[00:01:25]
Beverley hills 90210 and the great Australian dream[00:01:32]
Thought I'd try a new direction down the barcoo headed south[00:01:51]
To the town built round the black stump and jacky howe[00:01:57]
But it was back on course next morning to the stockman's hall of fame[00:02:05]
Where I traced the steps of the pioneers and ran into those kids again[00:02:11]
With baseball caps on backwards like they wear 'em in LA[00:02:20]
Coca Cola Nike shoes and Oakley shades[00:02:27]
In the midst of myth and legend again I'm caught between[00:02:34]
Beverley hills 90210 and the great Australian dream[00:02:41]
I set out to find the spirit the inspiration for john flynn[00:02:59]
Walked the streets where fysh and mcguiness gave the kangaroo its wings[00:03:06]
But each time I thought I'd found it what makes us who we are[00:03:13]
That bus pulls up beside me and the kids get out yeah the kids get out[00:03:20]
And its baseball caps on backwards like they wear 'em in LA[00:03:30]
Coca Cola Nike shoes and Oakley shades[00:03:38]
So I figure there's an answer somewhere in between[00:03:44]
Beverley hills 90210 and the great Australian dream[00:03:51]
Lookin' for an answer[00:04:02]
To the great Australian dream[00:04:08]
There's gotta be an answer[00:04:22]
To the great Australian dream[00:04:29]
