Elephant and the Coffee Table
I have been inspired of the local surroundings and the beauty of the Northwest of Australia. There's a connection that you form with the region that makes it hard to leave. Most of the songs have been written in the natural elements, surrounded by nature and hopefully it comes through to tithe listener.
