A Farnham experience...

Last night we went to the birthday party of a fellow Aussie Regent student. There were some Aussie songs playing throughout the night, some of which needed explanation (eg Tie Me Kangaroo Down, Sport). We were in one room, and then we heard a few people starting to belt out "Your the Voice" by Johnny Farnham, and both felt a kind of 'we need to be in there' urge. So we rushed in and joined the 6 other Aussies singing out at the top of our lungs. No-one else (besides a South African) seemed to even know who Johnny was, let alone the song. But it was a bit of a bonding moment. We knew we probably wouldn't have done the same thing if we were back home, but I think you do stranger things when you are far away and need a sense of connection. :)
Here are some links if you are feeling nostalgic, or want to know who John Farnham is:
