Gidday Pat,

 I live in Perth which is in Western Australia (a state) - I'm a couple of hours North of Kathryn (she is down at the bottom of our state in Denmark) and across the otherside of Australia from Alan who's in Queensland. Although I am originally from Victoria. (you got an atlas there??)

I just gave Mum a copy of Union, she only has The House Of Hope and The Best Of, - I did buy her The Womans Boat - but she won't listen to it, maybe the Peter Gabriel influence she doesn't like. I'm still trying to push David & David on her but so far no go. Poor Mum, she must be the only person in the world who thinks that John Fogerty is dead - and she wonders why she is seeing his DVD's in the shops!

ps. I didn't give you any Prince tips! You sure you are on water?? ;)
