After music, fishing was Slim’s favourite past time.

Reflecting on her father’s love of the outdoors Anne Kirkpatrick says, “Fishing was second nature to dad. As a teenager dad would fish in Nulla Creek ‘with a seasoned kurrajong pole’ (lyrics from ‘Nulla Creek’) and throughout the 60’s he would take time out of the show runs across Queensland and the Territory wherever the fishing was good.”

All fisherman have their special spots and Slim was no different. “I recall dad’s favourite place to fish was at the beautiful Gippsland Lakes where he would catch flathead, bream, flounder and skipjacks,” recalls Kirkpatrick. “No wonder he recorded so many songs about his favourite past time.”

For pre-order and first week of release there are special Father’s Day merchandise offer from the Slim Dusty website, creating the perfect gift for any father.

The album cover artwork was created by Dave Homer from a brief by Joy McKean and Anne Kirkpatrick. Its simple image portrays peace, rest and enjoyment of one out on a boat with a line in the water. The joys of fishing, time away from busy routine and pondering life with the sun on your back.

Pack your rods, pick up the bait, press “Play” and come fishin’ with Slim Dusty!
