Aussie enough!?<br /><br />Glad you found this post from way-back-when and, like Chris and others, it struck a chord. I still often get these moments which turn into posts or ideas for stories which now end up over at www.brewsnews.co.au as I don't have the time to run one site, let alone two.<br /><br />At least in The States you have access to a great range of craft beers at much better value than we get over here back home. <br /><br />Would love to turn yours and Chris' comments into a bit of a story. Can you email me at pmitcham@beerblokes.com.au and I'll get a few more details for a story about Aussies abroad and what they miss most.<br /><br />Cheers<br />PeteBeer Blokeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04934635864972515138noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8689420909032124637.post-8948764402588841122012-10-16T00:53:52.178+11:002012-10-16T00:53:52.178+11:00Found ya the same way Chris did.

Awesome read; just a pity it showed me how homesick I really am after 15 years living in the Unholy Shithole of America (and how soft it's made me) that it took me twenty attempts to read it to the missus cuz I kept bawling.Aussiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02003271920253558007noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8689420909032124637.post-10876186207223434992012-03-17T16:01:31.391+11:002012-03-17T16:01:31.391+11:00...just had another thought. I can't help feel......just had another thought. I can't help feeling that the walk from Wooloomooloo to Bennelong is a vastly different one today than it was when Mick Thomas did the walk and penned the song. Might be fun to do a pub appraisal of that walk to see if you could find a nice beer.Beer Blokeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04934635864972515138noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8689420909032124637.post-28872372177594566422012-03-17T15:59:22.384+11:002012-03-17T15:59:22.384+11:00G'Day Chris and thanks for your comment.

Glad you found me even if by accident. <br /><br />As I wrote this back in 2008 I can't remember exactly but I have always thought the 'Hotel' was, in fact, 'The Hopetoun' so I'm not sure why I typo'd this piece.<br /><br />Is The Hopetoun still there? Next time I'm up Sydney way I'll check it out and report back.<br /><br />Cheers<br />Prof PilsnerBeer Blokeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04934635864972515138noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8689420909032124637.post-62886215122275166052012-03-17T03:45:38.035+11:002012-03-17T03:45:38.035+11:00Hello!

He does, of course, but I couldn't find benelong on the map. Turns out its not an area but the park where the opera house is in sydney. Quite a short walk really.<br />Anyhoo, I noticed that in your lyrics you've got "i'll meet you down at the hotel". I'm pretty sure the lyric is "I'll meet you down at the Hopetoun". Its a pub on the corner of Fitzroy St and Bourke St in Sydney - clearly visible on google streetview! Spent many a happy hour there myself. And yes, you're right, a simple song can bring many happy memories and a smile! Nice blog!Chris Curtishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11410918600963778179noreply@blogger.com
