Paul Kelly Appears
Apparently Kelly’s real celebrity stuff in Australia, one of the country’s greatest singers and songwriters, known especially for some rock-ish songs in the 80s. He’s a household name down undah. Anyway, he’s here, at Mornington. Michelle, Joey and I watched the back of his head as he ate his 4-star dinner last evening, sitting next to some blonde at the restaurant. Sophie, on the hospitality staff, said she cleaned his room, er, safari tent, and reported Kelly did have a guitar. But, alas, the singer was brooding and antisocial, slipping off quietly after dinner without so much as a nod, probably psyching himself up for his concert in Broome this coming Saturday – unlike Xavier Rudd, who sang songs for us around the pizza oven when he visited a couple months ago. Celebrities are an odd bunch, especially when they show up unexpectedly in the middle of the desert…
a most interesting place you are staying in….you have to buy your own rations and live in a small tent, yet there are cele’braties’ show up and get 4 STAR treatment.
Hey Denise – Yeah definitely strange to live in a tent next to a 4-star restaurant! But it works…
