It is about escaping the misery that was 1995 for NIcky after Richey's disappearence, Australia is the urthest away from Britain you can go

Around the time this was written, there had been lots of possible sightings of Richey all over the world, including Australia. I think Nicky wrote this from Richey's point of view, Nicky undertsnads how Richey had to escape the life he was leading and clear his head.
