Slim Dusty - Kilometers Are Still Miles To Me

This is a good one by Slim off of Ramblin' Shoes Vol. 2. The only place that album can be found now is in the 5 c.d. box set of 'The Man Who Is Australia', which is full of Slim Dusty greats. Enjoy.
R.I.P. Slim Dusty

I grew up in a Catholic orphanage in the late 70's and 80's slim was all I listened to, but didn't I get a lot of crap from EVERYONE but it didn't stop me.(loved slim then and still do)

im an American who just loves Slim Dusty...some of the best music Australia has given the world

[@jefframblerman8268]

thank goodness the USA never made the switch to metric..

[@ajaxengineco]

Big mistake trying to do it here in the U.K. Now we have a confused mess of gallons, pints, grams and kilos. Still use miles but also metres. And I'm the only person I know who knows how many feet are in a yard.

And a blunt while you’re at it 😁😁🤷🏽‍♂️

[@nobgeerthunyaah7408]

Kilometres seem to still be very hard to grasp. Changing from miles is very complicated.

[@paulsparrsparky7037]

I'm from Germany and grew up metric...
But I understand what Slim was trying to say.
The change that happens over time and is hard to deal with....
He found wonderful words for it 👍🏼
(I'm an ex-truckie 😁)
Slim may be "gone", his spirit lives on in his music.
(It's not just in Australia that people love his songs. I first heard him as a young boy. Today I'm an "old man" and for me he's still the greatest).
Thank you so much for sharing. 🙏🏼
Greetings from Cuxhaven in Northern Germany 👋🏼

There's a reason I'm an Aussie who still uses miles. Long live Slim
