Kinglake, Winter, 2008 And then we were in Kinglake. It was beautiful. The roads followed the hills, through the trees. It was such an achingly typical Australian bush landscape – eucalypts everywhere, dirt tracks leading up towards houses nestled in the hills. |

About usStereo Stories are stories inspired by songs.
You could say that every song has at least two stories. There’s the story of the song itself: about love or sex or war, about a broken heart, about growing up … And there’s the story of hearing and listening to that song, in a particular place, at a particular time. So, take a song, a time and a place and you may well have a Stereo Story to tell. |
