G'day Ted,

Your song is clearly a fairly standard version of The Drover's Dream. On what sort of "... recording of Australian Boy Scout Songs in 1966..." did you find it? My Dad was active in the Sydney Region - particularly with Campfire sessions at Waterfall Scout Camp ... south of Sydney, on the fringes of The Royal National Park.

He often lugged into the Camp a large (7") reel-to-reel tape recorder (and a smallish [Mini-Minor]12 volt battery I bought from the British Leyland plant at which I worked) to play Australian folk songs for the Scouts - and to record the Campfire performances. I don't know if any of this ever was released - or distributed ... although what you have may be a commercial recording of a large Scout event, like their Annual Gang Shows.

Regards,

Bob
