The Blue is a central market place in Bermondsey an area in London. The market is open Monday to Saturday from 9am until 5pm and has about 10 stall holders, selling food and clothes. The area has been known as The Blue for more than two hundred and thirty years and is probably named after the original Blue Anchor public house that gave its name to Blue Anchor Lane. The market has capacity for 24 stalls.
Immediately north of Blue Anchor Lane on an arched viaduct are the multiple railway tracks of the Brighton and South East Main Lines. The Blue Anchor Lane joins St. James's Road where the viaduct arches to the immediate north west contain the remnants of the disused Spa Road railway station which was the original terminus of London's first railway.
In 2005 a Metropolitan Police report described the area as a crime hotspot for "race crime and youth disorder". In 2009 during the funeral procession of Jade Goody a white dove was released at The Blue, where her family once had a stall.
Sea of Tranquility described the album as a continuation of the sound experiment on Materia with the addition of a heavier approach, especially in the vocal department.

The song is subtitled "A Song of Australia". It refers to the Blue Mountains of New South Wales, Australia, and the pioneers who went westward to new lands beyond them.

CROSSING OF THE BLUE MOUNTAINS - Exciting Stories From Australia's History
'Exciting Stories from Australia's History' is a 12 inch vinyl LP issued by M7 Records in 1975.
It features dramatisations of 8 significant events in our past.
The 1813 crossing of the Blue Mountains was the expedition led by Gregory Blaxland, William Lawson and William Charles Wentworth, which became the first successful crossing of the Blue Mountains in New South Wales by European settlers. The crossing enabled the settlers to access and use the land west of the mountains for farming, and made possible the establishment of Australia's first inland settlement at Bathurst.
The cast features Gavin Hamilton as Blaxland, John Faasen as Lawson and Shane Porteus as Wentworth.
The series was produced by Grace Gibson Productions.

By 1813 the colony of New South Wales had experienced consecutive droughts and weak harvests. The population continued to grow and the colonists desperately needed to expand into more fertile farming land. Through re-enactments and historical stills this is the story of the first European crossing of the rugged Blue Mountains by the three explorers, William Charles Wentworth, Gregory Blaxland and Lieutenant William Lawson, each of whom had his own reason for being part of the expedition. Made by The Commonwealth Film Unit 1965. Directed by Alexander Ezard.

Where there were sorrows children sing a happy tune Where there were snows of winter white flowers bloom Blue mountains distant and so high Morning mists are parting to reveal Places where the earth can almost reach the blue sky Like a dream becoming real Adiós chaquetas viejas digo adiós Adiós sueños solos digo adiós Sierras azules llegaremos al final Donde águilas y ángeles vuelan
