1000 Miles Away

"1000 Miles Away" is a song by Australian rock group Hoodoo Gurus.

In June 2000, Dave Faulkner said, "Many people have told me '1000 Miles Away' is their favourite Gurus song and it's also among my top ten.

There are references to airports and flying but I was writing about emotional distance rather than physical travel.

"[1] The crew of Royal Australian Navy frigate HMAS Canberra had an association with the song after they adopted it as their 'anthem'.

Hoodoo Gurus played a concert including the Replenishment At Sea song "1000 Miles Away" on-board during their last voyage out of Fremantle to Fleet Base West, prior to its decommissioning in 2005.
