Yes, I do think it's about Nicky wanting to 'run away'at the time of Richey's disappearance. You can run away, even all the way to Australia and it won't change a thing. No matter what pill you take, where you go your problems will follow you in your mind at least.

Really? I thought the furthest away from Britain you can go was New Zealand... but then again, that wouldn't have had the same sound, would it? :)

It's about escapism, just being somewhere else instead of Britain. Nicky got paranoid about being ill, under the stresses of touring, so he just wanted to get away from it all. Australia was the suitable mythical destination.
