Sandra, also thanks to a good friend, I'm fortunate enough to have 3 Affley LPs on CD and also the Australian Folk Archive vintage live recordings CD.

Gary Shearston added a tune to Thomas E. Spencer's lovely 'Bonnie Jess'. Spencer is perhaps best remembered for his 'How McDougal topped the score'.

BONNIE JESS
(T.Spencer/G.Shearston)

Now the shearing time is over, Bonnie Jess
And the sheep are in the clover, Bonnie Jess
By the creek the kine are lowing
And the golden crops are growing
While the setting sun is glowing, Bonnie Jess
And a kiss to you he's blowing, Bonnie Jess

To your face the crimson's rushing, Bonnie Jess
Ah! I know why you are blushing, Bonnie Jess
‘Tis the memory appearing
Of the promise in the clearing
When you said twixt hope and fearing, Bonnie Jess
You would wed him after shearing, Bonnie Jess

And now the shearing time is over, Bonnie Jess
And you're looking for your lover, Bonnie Jess
And his horse's hooves are ringing
As along the road he's swinging
And a song for you he's singing, Bonnie Jess
And the wedding ring he's bringing, Bonnie Jess

I first heard it on the Cobbers' beaut LP 'Portaits of Australian Women' which is still available as a digital download via Bandcamp.
