Track Story
There’s something about a long drive that gives you time to think… and sometimes, to heal. “Ballarat to Cloncurry” is a song that emerged from one of those reflective moments. After experiencing a life-changing time, I found myself heading north—back toward family, familiar faces, and the kind of connections that ground you when life feels uncertain. The journey from Ballarat to Cloncurry is a long road, but it’s one many Australians relate to in their own way. We travel distances for the people we love—for birthdays, for milestones, and for the moments that matter. This song is a tribute to that journey. Along the way, there’s reflection, a bit of heart, and yes… a cheeky little passenger keeping me company—my cockatiel, Terry.
