For a few days or so, if you click here and select "Tasmanian couple embark on trip to 'everywhere'" you'll see and hear (courtesy of Oz ABC TV) an interview with Geoff Mack, who wrote the original and most of the parodies for particular regions. The program segment is 4:57 long.

As a matter of interest, it'd be really nice if the original was listed in the DT (as well as in the "Related Threads" above, as "I've been everywhere, man: original" (rather than "Aussie version"); this would allow the various versions to be located via specific "Lyr. Add" descriptors to the respective posted messages.

Cheers, Rowan
