We shipped down to Launceston, through a wonderful savage storm, oh what a buzz except for the smell of vomit, on the Princess of Tasmania. Arrested on arrival for long hair and guitar. Hitched down to Hobart without police intervention or interference, but were told to
'Go back to the mainland, we have 5% unemployment here' on applying for work. Somehow then I bobbed up back in Sydney shortly afterwards, without the nameless guy, but I do recall hitching with one chap in a British car, said chap urging me to drive faster faster all the way, over the Snowy mountains - a 6-cylinder Zephyr something I think, he seemed to think it was something special. Later I ended up back in those same mountains for the snow season.
