G'day Joe,

I see that Joybell has opted in two Australian songs; The Nautical Yarn (a humorous - mock-tragic- tale of an Australian paddlesteamer on the Murray River) and Bluey Brink (an equally mock-tragic tale of an Australian shearer and some dangerous drinks).

I might also challenge your description of Dinkie-di as "British Army WWII" ... although I guess some Pommies may have picked up the Australian song - despite Aussies singing it as direct insult to snooty Pommy officers/non-coms!

Regards,

Bob Bolton
