Instrumental composed in the middle of the nineties during the preparations for Sydney 2000 Olympic Games. There was a proposal to extend train line from Bondi Junction all the way to Bondi Beach where I lived. I was keen on the idea as I did not like catching the slow, crowded and stinky buses to the city every day. Majority of the locals however did not want it, so the train line was not built. Sometimes, I played this tune at Bondi Beach accompanied by a didgeridoo player named Zani who had didgeridoo in E key. Where Zani is now, I would not have a clue. Should you like to hear me play this tune on guitar wit tapping on the solid top and harmonica, please visit this Souncloud page:
