A Thousand Feet

This is a link to my cover of “A Thousand Feet” on audius.co. The song was written by John Williamson while he was in Hermannsburg in the Australian Northern Territory about 125 kilometres west of Alice Springs, home to the Western Arrarnta Aborigine tribe. The song was released as a single in 1999 from his album, “The Way It Is”. The album peaked at #10 on the ARIA charts and was certified Platinum.

Author: Darryl Greer

I was born, educated and spent the first chapter of my working life in Queensland, Australia. My education was cut short -- by me, due to the sheer boredom of it -- and at the age of 15 I left to work on a milk run. I went on to work as a window cleaner, cocktail barman, wine waiter, clerk, car salesman and a guitarist and backing singer in a rather hopeless rock band. Eventually, I got my act together, studied Law and at 28, owned my own law firm in Queensland's far north. After nine years in the tropics, I became bored with constant blue skies, gently swaying coconut palms and scuba-diving on the Great Barrier Reef so I sold up and moved with my family to London. I practised there for twenty years, specialising in commercial litigation, mostly at partner level in the City. In 2004, I returned to Queensland and, now a widower, live with my daughter in Mudgeeraba. I am a published author of a significant number of articles in British and international magazines and of seven novels, "The Election", "Calvus", "Agnus Dei", "Sleeping With Angels", "A Dragon In The Snow", "Bounty" and in 2023, "Zeno", a sequel to "Calvus". I published my memoir, "...Passing Through..." in February 2020. I continue to do what I love, write and I am currently researching and writing my next novel. All my books are on Amazon, both amazon.com and amazon.com.au and are available in paperback and Kindle e-book.
