Speaker 3 (00:21):
He went up north to Brisbane to see the clan.
How's your dad?

Speaker 1 (00:25):
My family is not in the clan. Just can't hold
the sheet.

Speaker 3 (00:29):
How's Arthur going? He's great.

Speaker 1 (00:30):
So my dad is ninety one and a half and
he's great. And I'm so grateful to my brother Cameron
for all the work he does for Dad, because I
can't do that from here.

Speaker 3 (00:37):
But Art's going well though he is and he.

Speaker 1 (00:39):
Sort of lives on his own. He looks after himself,
but he's got age related dementia. In that you chat
to him, all is great, but then he won't remember appointments.
He can't remember that kind of stuff. So I know
Cameron bears the brunt of all that upkeep, and I'm very,
very grateful.

Speaker 3 (00:56):
Anyways, when he talks to you, he gets your name.

Speaker 2 (00:58):
Well.

Speaker 1 (00:59):
Her dad's got a partner, Merle, who they don't live together,
and now that neither of them can drive, they only
meet up once a week at the shops, but they
phone each other every day.

Speaker 3 (01:08):
It's lovely.

Speaker 1 (01:08):
It's lovely, but often, Merle's the first person Dad talks to.

Speaker 3 (01:12):
So he talks me.

Speaker 1 (01:12):
He says, I'm merl Amanda. My children call me Merlander.
I got called Faye the other day, who's my sister?
And Cameron got called Merle. But I know, move me
down the order. But Dad's great. No one makes me
laugh like my dad does. I had a great weekend.
And always when I go up to see Dad, Cameron,
Kerry and I will go out somewhere and just drink

(01:35):
and let off steam. It's so great.

Speaker 2 (01:37):
I imagine, like merchant semen on surely because you're in
another state, look and also get away with a lot.

Speaker 1 (01:43):
If Kerry and I can be dancing, we will. And
this time we went like. Cameron lives in a suburb
called Winnhim. It's a fab suburb. My grandparents used to
live there. I've got such fabulous childhood memories around Winnham,
but it's been funkified since then. There's great cafes, bars
and all kinds of great stuff. We have drinks at
Cedar and Pine and he knows a woman who runs
out and we go next door and we see them

(02:04):
and it's great. And then we went to see Cameron said,
let's go and see Bonjovi tribute band, and you think
that sounds the most lame thing I've ever heard of,
And it was the best night ever. This band they're
Calledella Coma Rio, and I'm mentioning them because if you
ever get a chance to see them, they are just brilliant.
So you know they sound like this, they sound britt.

Speaker 3 (02:27):
The whole place we were in, that's just off your phone.

Speaker 1 (02:30):
The whole place we were in was just going crazy.

Speaker 3 (02:33):
Course so that they also do.

Speaker 1 (02:34):
An in excess show, a Cold Chisel tribute show, but
the one is the bon Jovi one. Towards the end
of did a medley of every eighties rock song. You know,
it was so great and just to have live music,
and the lead singer said at one point he said,
you may have heard that we were performing here and
you've come to see us. You may have been walking
past and heard the music for you'd come in. Whether
having the best day or the worst day. If we're

(02:56):
doing our job, everyone gets what they need today. And
it was just this is what live music does, and
it makes you feel so.

Speaker 3 (03:04):
Rock music's coming back. It really is that, I can
feel it.

Speaker 1 (03:07):
It was an absolutely credible night. So if you get
a chance, they're called Della coma Rio. We might put
their information on our socials.

Speaker 3 (03:14):
I was just so impressive the manager.

Speaker 1 (03:16):
Now, no, but I'm so impressed with them, and it
just reminds you if you get a chance, you don't
have to go and see the actual bonjover. You can
just go and see an amazing tribute band and have
the best night ever.

Speaker 2 (03:25):
This is great and you don't have to face the
judiciary today. You haven't done anything up north.

Speaker 1 (03:30):
No, I had eighteen thousand Gin and Tonics, but nothing
to see here.
