Australia/New Zealand Tour Update
Posted by Helper Worm on May 16th, 2008
As promised, we’re very pleased to announce the details of Bill’s forthcoming tour to Australia and New Zealand.
MESSAGE FROM BILL
Hello to all of you in the Greate Southerne Landes! It has been awhiles, but I am looking forward to this OZ:NZ tour very much. I have missed the pleasing pond sludge of spirulina on a crisp Auckland morning, the crystal light of a Sydney sunrise over a latte, a stroll along the Yarra on a balmy evening, the blue skies over the bay at Wellington, a spiro at 2am wandering down Collins, a snuffling echidna transfixed by the headlights of a hire car, a flattened possum on the way to Piha Beach…a Perth hangover..
All these delights and more await, so I’ll see you soon.
Bill

About bleedin time cobber!
We’ve been waiting so long – but only one show in each city? Is this some devious marketing strategy or a cosmic blindness?

Cheers for the tour dates Mate. No password for the Queenslanders, a stroke of brilliance. Hope you’re bringing the tribe south to wonder at the flora, fauna and colonials.Good luck with the international travel aspects and don’t forget to stock up in Nimbin when heading north to Bris.
Cheers for now, Andy.
