Fiona Roake made the trip across the Tasman from New Zealand to Australia in the mid 90s to study theatre. In this song she combines her lifelong love of music and spoken word to capture the feeling of losing your motherland when you call a new place home.

Beautiful. I love the simplicity of it, the birds in the car park, the sky and the estuary especially as now I am looking at it all the time while I recover. Well done my beautiful daughter. XX
