So, how many of these towns can you place on a map of Oz? and how many have you visited? (there is 92)


Well, I was humpin' my bluey on the dusty Oodnadatta road,
When along came a semi with a high and canvas-covered load.
If you're goin' to Oodnadatta, mate, um, with me you can ride.
So I climbed in the cabin and I settled down inside.
He asked me if I'd seen a road with so much dust and sand, I said
Listen, mate, I've travelled ev'ry road in this here land.

Cause I've been everywhere, man,
I've been everywhere, man.
'Cross the deserts bare, man;
I've breathed the mountain air, man.
Of travel I've had my share, man.
I've been everywhere.

LOL! Good one. But has he been to the Humpty Doo pub???

LOL! This same song is used in the States for some hotel chain. The sound you hear is the marketing guys shooting themselves because I can't remember which chain. Comfort Inns? Days Inns?

To answer your question, I can only say a dozen for sure. Others, meh, maybe I passed through. But I've been to a lot places he didn't mention. ;)

Passed thru Canberra. That's it. Everything aside from Darwin is on the wrong side for me. :rolleyes:
