Subject: RE: Aussie Childrens' School Song origin?
G'day Golly,

I think I have this one on a CD from small Australian label Dulcetone: Home Sweet Home. This is a collection of field recordings, by Alan Musgrave, of traditional performers, generally around the Warrnambool area of Victoria ... the aim is to show that traditional performance continues, outside of "professional" venues. I imagine that the Ba(i)rnsdale source you quote would be the same as Alan's recording's source.

I'll dig it out, when I get home, and scan in the relevant details (as well as details of the recording, which is still on sale - as Alan had them at the Gulgong Folk Festival last week).

Regards,

Bob Bolton
