It is said that Country Music has a story in every song. A funny story, a sad story, an angry story, a happy story, a revenge story, a reminiscent story or just a plain old ‘Somebody done somebody wrong’ story. There is always a story to tell and it can usually be followed quite easily.
A few years back, I was suffering from very high levels of workplace stress resulting in Depression, Anxiety and quite a few Anger issues. Psychologists have attributed my switching the musical genre I listen to as a major step in overcoming some of these issues.
The theory goes that songs that have a story and that you can sing along to (like nobody is listening of course!) provide a necessary distraction from the stressors that can manifest themselves into high stress levels. Singing along quite loudly can also be used as a ‘relief-valve’ for stress that is already present.
I am now very lucky that I have a job driving Road Trains through the outback and my office consists of just me singing at the top of my (very bad) voice.
During wetter times, the patch of ground that this cache is on would become an Island in the Stream. Judging by the tyre marks I saw at the time of placing the cache, this area is quite popular with local 4WDs and ATVs.
In 1983, Kenny Rogers and Dolly Parton recorded “Islands in the Stream”. Written by the Bee Gees. The song was a crossover success reaching number 1 in both the Country and Contemporary Charts.
Watching this Island in the Stream and listening to some Country Music would be a great way to spend a day not doing much else at all!
Cache is a camouflaged 500ml pill bottle.
