Who's Been Everywhere Man???

[Diesel]

Following are the lyrics to that great song IBEM!

I thought I'd see how many of these places I've been to (out of 92) and will highlight those in red. Why don't you copy and paste the lyrics and do the same to see who truly has been everywhere man?

Here goes....




I’ve Been Everywhere
by Geoff Mack©, as sung by Lucky Starr (1962)

I've been everywhere...

Well, I was humpin' my bluey on the dusty Oodnadatta road,
When along came a semi with a high and canvas-covered load.
(Spoken) "If you're goin' to Oodnadatta, mate, um, with me you can ride."
So I climbed in the cabin and I settled down inside.
He asked me if I'd seen a road with so much dust and sand, I said
"Listen, mate, I've travelled ev'ry road in this here land."

Chorus:
Cos "I've been everywhere, man,
I've been everywhere, man.
'Cross the deserts bare, man;
I've breathed the mountain air, man.
Of travel I've had my share, man.
I've been ev'rywhere.

Tullamore, Seymour, Lismore, Mooloolaba,
Nambour, Maroochydore, Kilmore, Murwillumbah,

(Spoken) "Okay, mate, you've been ev'ry place except one, and ya don't need my help t'get there."
(Sound of door slamming and truck driving off.)

Does this mean an extended stay in WA to add those places that aren't in the song.

62 for me......Pockey has been to most of them to, but naturally slept through most of them on the bike 



Just as well they didn't use the initial name for Emmaville.....it would have really buggared up the lyrics 


Emmaville was originally called Vegetable Creek after the Chinese market gardens that existed because of the tin mining boom that struck the region in the 1800's
