The music video was partly filmed in front of the
Exxon Building in
Manhattan, New York City.[1] This portion of the video shows the band performing in front of a banner that reads "Midnight Oil makes you dance, Exxon oil makes us sick."[1]
Background
Although some people think the song is a reference to
Peter Brock and the
Bathurst 1000 held at
Mount Panorama, drummer
Rob Hirst said the song is actually inspired by the footrace up
Mount Cooroora and the surrounding natural beauty and unique history of the Noosa hinterland.[2]
