76. Green Can Dreaming, by Paul Blackmore
Time Magazine, August 14, 2006.

The caption reads staggering quantities of alcohol are consumed in drinking sessions in the bush around Borroloola and yes, I'd be taking a slab of VB and joining in, and fills me with the urge to just drive from Melbourne to Adelaide, across to Port Augusta, then driving north up the Stuart Highway through the strangeness that is Woomera to staying a few days in Alice Springs before arriving in Tennant Creek. Just before Mataranka maybe taking the right hand turn into the Roper Highway, although calling it a highway tests the mettle of what the word highway might actually mean, but perhaps doing the nearly 600 kilometres over a few days to Borroloola and it's legendary drinking sessions. Or maybe just keep on going up the Stuart and left at the only set of traffic lights in Katherine, and heading towards Kununurra, Halls Creek, Fitzroy Crossing, and inevitably heading towards Broome, and all those other little instances of nothings along the way that occasionally interrupt the everything of the desert.
