[1] All of the songs on the album relate to the Australian Outback, the people who live there and local customs.

Inspiration came to Buchanan while he lived in Bourke in country New South Wales[2] as quoted in the liner notes of the album.

I came across so many strong images living at Pera Bore, near Bourke.

To some it's a scrubby wasteland, but the place has a rugged beauty that got under my skin and often left me wide-eyed and open-mouthed.The album was dedicated to Bill Vincent.

The album cover features Buchanan in front of a stereotypical Australian country outback backdrop setting.
