Warakurna would just chill the blood in that setting.

Powdies,

The Oils still reverberate in the Australian consciousness.  In the last
"Weekend Australian" (March 1-2) journalist Ashleigh Wilson reported
being on day four of a trip from Darwin to Sydney.  Passing through
South Australia:

"Time too, for serious reflection.  The coutnry lends itself to this. The journey inward is as much part of this trip as the drive itself. Stillness all around.  Hours pass.

Coober Pedy breaks up the empty space.  Midnight Oil comes on the
stereo, randomly chosen by my iPod at the perfect time.  Signs warn
visitors to avoid walking backwards into mine shafts.  The whole place
feels alien.  Mounds of dirt and rock mark the entrance to town, and
subterranean hotels and restaurants are everywhere.  An Aboriginal
teenager walks with his mouth inside his shirt, where the outline of a
can is visible.  Continue for a few more hours to Glendambo, an
unremarkable stop between Coober Pedy and Port Augusta".

Didn't say which album but.
