Mine Country 1- Length 4:56

In our drive to take this series broader than just the Sydney region, here’s a wonderful story about living on the edge in the far off mining town of Mount Isa.

Isolation is aloneness that feels forced upon you, like a punishment. Solitude is aloneness you choose and embrace. I think great things can come out of solitude, out of going to a place where all is quiet except the beating of your heart.
