One of my passions is to discover old buildings. This one is on land or very close to land owned by the German settlers one of which was my Great-grandfather. When I found this building it seemed to talk to me - but maybe you'll just think that was my imagination.

I heard this song again today and I really like it although I'm not usually a fan of country.

Biographical notes: Sara grew up in a small country town in Victoria. With football, souped up Holdens and church on Sundays predominant in the town, music was her connection to a bigger life.

Influenced by Bruce Springsteen, Neil Young and Rickie Lee Jones Sara started to dream about writing her own songs.

For the past 12 years, Sara has worked as a singer/songwriter/performer, playing hotels, festivals, halls, café verandahs, campfires and loungerooms around Australia.

She now dreams of an ARIA, or a tour with Neil Young, Lucinda Williams or the Be Good Tanyas.
