Hey, it's Cory with the story with Sydney News today, your city, your news, every day. Australian comedian Lizzie Hu joined the Take 5 podcast to pick five songs that capture her wildlife adventures, a passion she got from her. Adventurous mum who backpacked in the 1970s, her love for music started young with electronic organ lessons playing 80s hits like fame and Copacabana every Thursday afternoon. Things now tied to her travels like Arctic Monkeys for a drive from Canada to Mexico in a $500 car or journey for karaoke in Japan. One stand out tale came from Mongolia where she ditched a dull bid writing job in Brisbane for a volunteer gig training journalist in Ulan Batar. There she embraced freezing winters at minus 40, weekend horse rides across vast steps and local indie rock from band The Lemons, picking there. Asia's track, Monad, to evoke the open landscape.
