Back cover

"1000 Miles Away" is a song by Australianrock bandHoodoo Gurus. It was released in May 1991 as the second single from the group's fifth studio album,Kinky. "1000 Miles Away" peaked at number 37 on theAustralian Singles Chart.

In June 2000, Dave Faulkner said, "Many people have told me '1000 Miles Away' is their favourite Gurus song and it's also among my top ten. There are references to airports and flying but I was writing about emotional distance rather than physical travel."^[2]

The crew ofRoyal Australian Navy frigateHMASCanberra had an association with the song after they adopted it as their 'anthem'. Hoodoo Gurus played a concert including the Replenishment At Sea song "1000 Miles Away" on-board during their last voyage out of Fremantle to Fleet Base West, prior to its decommissioning in 2005.^[3]
