Like the Leyland Brothers before them, our bush and beach boffins Hugh Liney and Rod Crundwell

‘travel all over the countryside’ collecting the best songs about the Australian urge to get away from

it all. Greg Quill wanders like a Gypsy Queen, Richard Clapton and The Pigram Brothers dream of

Byron Bay and James Reyne sings another song where we can’t understand a ‘country’ word he said.

The Triffids make sure we know what they mean by repeating the phrase Wide Open Road two

hundred times.
