about
This epic song is a perpetual motion soundtrack of a journey of a traveller through Far North Queensland on the world-famous Kuranda Scenic Railway. At the start of the journey, the traveller walks the Kuranda markets, enjoying the company and stories of the indigenous people. Then it’s off to the train, but it’s crammed with camera twitching tourists. However there is room with the conductor in the brake van at the end of the train and from there our traveller marvels at the scenery of the rainforest unfolding before him as the train slides down the mountain towards the blue Coral Sea. Miserable old Blighty dressed in snow, seemed so far away at the time. But all too soon, our traveller returns to England and as he plods to work through snow covered streets, the memories are recalled and take him back to Kuranda in an instant......
lyrics
Kuranda Brake (The Railway Song)
Tic-Tack shops, Lorikeets and cold beer.
Tjabugai painters and Gadja artists all live here.
Fat, red faced tourists stand wilting in the sun,
Under hot-house skies, our Dreamtime journey has begun!
I’m on the tail of Buda Dji on this downhill ride.
A mountain to the right of me; on the left is the viewing side.
Look! See the Barron falling and tumbling again.
The roar of his call is fed by the forest rain.
This “snake” keeps on sliding and hugging the mountain side.
Like a child I see so many things, my eyes are open wide.
The beauty and the splendour is more than I can take?
Is this Dreamtime I’m living, as I ride this Kuranda brake/
Tic-Tack shops, but now there’s snow on the ground.
It’s cold and it’s grey as I walk through this English market town.
But as I slip, I'm in Dreamtime once again.
In the Kuranda brake and the tale of that mountain train.

Stompin' on Spiders is a musical collective formed at a Blues festival in April 2009. The band's stripped-back acoustic
Blues/Rock style is individual as it is unique, blending the traditional ethos of Blues music with a very modern edge. A "new tradition" is how one music journalist described Stompin' on Spiders; "a radical mix of stripped-back blues and roots inspired by international events"....more
