Back in March, I blocked out this weekend to spend some time in one of my favourite parts of Australia and I’m glad I did.

It’s been such a hectic six months of touring and I’m so grateful for the shows we have been playing and the people turning up to them.

It’s a really exhausting way to live so spending a couple of days with my friends fishing and living the top end life is a great escape.

I had fun playing at my first Gympie and it was cool to see what all the fuss was about. Although we were only there for one night we had a great time and it was cool to catch up with all our friends in the industry as well as play the gig. Thanks to everyone involved. From there we played in Brisbane which was also a pile of fun and a heap of people turned up to see us play.

Our Sydney launch was bigger than expected as well and it was a wicked night with lots of people who came to see some country music in the middle of the big smoke. It was cool to have some people from the Star Maker crew make the effort to be there and I think we put on a good show.

The McClymonts, Brooke, Sam and Mollie, invited me to be a guest on a few dates of their tour and it was a blast. Great girls – thanks for letting me get in front of your crowds.

The next couple of weeks should be a little bit slower on the touring front, with some time in the studio and a trip to Nashville later in October, thanks to Chris Watson Travel and Star Maker.

I’ve been doing a little bit of work with TAB and Racing NSW for the Kozi Race held on Everest Day at Randwick Racecourse and re-worked one my songs which they are using to promote the race. It’s been fun working with the team.

I have a new set of wheels!!!

I picked up the new whip in Sydney last week and it’s beautiful. They sorted me out with a brand new Toyota Prado Kakadu and it’s as flash as Michael Jackson.

Huge thanks to Toyota for letting me travel in style after clocking up just over 52,000 kms in the Toyota Rav until now.

That’s about it for now, I’m off to catch some fish and get ready for a show in Katherine with the boys.
