You're very welcome, Mark. That Australian tour sounds fantastic.

To show the range of places where Springsteen has appeared, I thought of including in this story an alphabetical phrase like "from Atlanta to Zimbabwe." But he doesn't seem to have performed in any Z countries, and Australia was the most distant I could find. And "from Atlanta to Brisbane" (where he's also performed, I believe on the trip you mentioned) just didn't have the same ring.

If only I had thought of "Victoria"! From "Asbury Park to Victoria" might well have worked. You may have a inspired a phrase in a future piece about Springsteen :).
