Dad's were a total mixed bag which ranged from Dire Straits, Elton John, Madonna and the Doobie Brothers to name some. I remember an 8 hour round trip to Coffs from Tamworth one Christmas were the only tape played was Daryl Braithwaite's new release "Taste the Salt"...god that hurt... That's just the way it had to be little darling! Our family car trips were made up of Dad’s mixed tapes, which I give him credit for as mixed tapes take time and effort!

LIke you, I still remember the words to all those old songs for no good reason other than the fact we heard them a million trillion times when our brains were still forming! One memorable musical journey - on our year 10 trip around Australia, I almost wore out the tape of Madonna's Erotica. I felt so grown-up...

When I grew up I realised how bizarre that was and it probably made me love music even more! On our last trip to NZ we listed to Guns and Roses :) Hehe my parents never played music ever, even at home.

'Born to be Wild' - riding around Ko Panang on a motorbike for 4 days with that song in my head & 'Sail Away' (David Gray) floating down the Nam Song river, Laos in a tyre tube. (White Ladder was the soundtrack of every Pommy bakcpacker on that trip!) You forgot to mention that legend has it, that house at the Entrance was won in a Poker Game!!!
