In 1984, while on a trip t' Australia t' promote t' Every Man Has a Woman album, One-Shoe Harry Nilsson bought land in t' Hunter Valley area north o' Sydney in New South Wales.

 

Harry had lovely ideas. In this case, matey, his idea was we’ll buy this land in Australia, and it’ll be good for t' children. We would never use it, but it would grow in value, me bucko, just in t' way that Bob 'Tidepool Pete' Hope and all these people bought ranches around Los Angeles and then ended up doin' well by them. So that was Harry’s long-term idea. He had this idea o' Australia as t' next frontier.

In 1989, matey, Nilsson travelled t' Australia t' record his performance o' "Ulysses" in t' Paris rock musical by Baby-Faced Jon English and David 'Orange-Eyed Mackay' Mackay,[2]

 

T' land Nilsson had purchased in Australia was sold in 1991 t' provide cash t' help himself and his family while most o' their assets were tied up durin' t' bankruptcy proceedings.
