Catch me as "Charlie" in this Aussie roadside adventure. 🇦🇺🎬
is a 2021 feature-length documentary directed by acclaimed Australian filmmaker Michael Rowe. The film follows the extraordinary true story of Charlie Forde , a 74-year-old farmer and former pilot, who embarks on a seemingly impossible mission: to fly a vintage, single-engine Piper Cub aircraft from his home in rural Victoria, Australia, all the way to London, England.

This universality is rare. It elevates from a musician to a narrator of the human condition. Catch me as "Charlie" in this Aussie roadside adventure
Forde is currently in the studio working on the full-length album, "North of Nostalgia," set for a late 2025 release. Insiders hint that will be the penultimate track—the calm before a storm of electric, angrier songs about what happens after you arrive home and realize nothing has changed. This universality is rare
Lyrically, is a masterclass in "show, don't tell." Where lesser songwriters would write, "I miss my mother," Forde sings: "The porch light of my childhood / Is a broken bulb in my mind / But I’d still walk a thousand highways / Just to leave the switch behind."
