the Commitments 

Popular early 90s movie about a group of people from Dublin who start a band and experience some relief from their mundane and sometimes dismal lives. This movie had a very popular soundtrack.

Last night I watched the Commitments. It was full of Irish sterotypes but entertaining nonetheless.

Katoomba

Quite an interesting town in the Blue Mountains, which houses among others, westies, junkies, hippies, "artists".Most people are in a band or trying to form one.
Katoomba also functions as a kind of nursing home for burn outs from Newtown.

Let's stop off at Katoomba to see the Winter Magic Festival on our way to Byron Bay.

Chopper 

Nickname for Mark 'Chopper' Reed. Real life Aussie crim who chopped off his own ear and had a witty way with words. A pretty cool film was made about him, named "Chopper" Great portrayl of Bogans and westies in there as well.

Eric Bana's Chopper was better than the real Chopper.

Q: We've got to get him to hospital Chopper?

A: Do you think my name is Mark Fuckin Medicare Reed?
