Hi Suzi,
We're in Hawke's Bay - where are you?

In 1969 the NZ Folklore Soc sent Phil Garland on a search for songs but I don't know if he ever discovered your Gr grs poems.
Presumably a copy of the books would be in the Hocken Library in Dunedin.
I was interested in the poem about the Penguin because my Grandfather (with his identical twin brother) was a steward on it. But the two of them (according to family legend) were so drunk they missed the boat on the night it was wrecked.
Welcome to Mudcat. It's a great place to be.
