This is a minor postscript to "D'ye Ken John Peel".

When I first roamed from my home in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia, down south to the cool climes of Hobart: Tasmania, Australia, I noticed that the iron railing fence around St David's Park was formed in five horizontal lines, like music staves. Into the stave was worked a design of musical notes forming the opening bars of "D'ye Ken John Peel".

I was told that this was because the park had been the graveyard of St David's, the Anglican cathedral church of Hobart and was the burial place of the author of the song "D'ye Ken John Peel"(presumably, John Woodcock Graves).

I know that fox hunting had appealed to the early colonists - especially down in Tasmania's more English climate and they had imported foxes to release and provide their traditional sport. It was believed that the foxes had died out (or been hunted out) but last year the team investigating claimed sightings of the (presumably) extinct "Tasmanian Tiger" (Thylacine) had followed tracks and spoor - and located a surving family of foxes!
