In this article, finepoets.com, producers of the Jack Thompson, Favoruite Australian Poems collection, talks about the kind of personal planning one needs to do, and what to pack, when going on an extended country concert tour. Going on tour can be physically and mentally exhausting, but a better experience can be had by making sure you have everything you need packed and easily accessible for where you might need it. Here’s a checklist with the reasons why some of the less obvious things should be taken: A novel: Sooner or later your gear will go one way and you will go the other, and you’ll find yourself stuck in some Godawful place where there is nothing open and nothing to do. Your novel will save the day. Your swimsuit: Touring can be bad for the body. Sooner or later you’ll realise that something needs to be done. There’s always a local swimming pool and its easy on the body and in the middle of the day when you surface, there’s usually nobody else around. Perfect! A fully packed bathroom bag: Here’s what you need in it, because there’s never a pharmacy open when you need it in a country town: toothpaste, toothbrush, soap, Aspirin, Valium, Bandaids, Mersyndol (this is a painkiller with a muscle relaxant in it, perfect for bad backs- it also makes you sleep which can be handy), handcream, sunscreen, an eyemask, earplugs, your own personal medication. Your phone charger, your laptop charger and a BLUE INTERNET CABLE. You can’t be sure that places in the bush have wireless connections to the room. A baby coffee plunger a plastic container of coffee, a plastic container of tea. A bottle of vodka for emergencies! Good Luck!
