I is jetsetter
Brekkie and lunch in Sydney and now dinner in Melbourne. What a jetsetter I am!
Why, yes, it’s less than an hour flight time from Sydney to Melbourne, what of it?
It’s thirteen hours on a bus, but. I have it on good authority from Mr Paul Kelly.

Amber Says:
Paul Kelly *sings* “From St Kilda to Kings Cross is only a hour or so by plane
I barely had time to press my face against the glass or watch anything rushing past
And all around me felt like, um, just an aeroplane cabin
And my body stayed exactly where it was because there wasn’t time for it to do anything else, and as for my soul, you must be joking
Darn this modern technology
I’m an artist; how am I supposed to come up with songs in these conditions?
I’d give you all of Sydney harbour
For a decent 13-hour bus ride
Those boys in WA have it easy, a million miles from everywhere
Bugger this. See you in Fremantle. Taxi!”

Sir Tessa: How come the train’s slower than the bus? I thought we had the world’s slowest trains?
Amber, you is crazy person. (In a good way.)
V: Geelong? Oh noes! Hope you can get back in time for the launch on Tuesday night.
