Here's another one from the NT. Wendy Baarda was a long-time resident at the Yuendumu Aboriginal community out from Alice Springs. Bloodwood, a well-regarded bush band from Alice Springs, adapted a poem that she wrote many years ago. It relates to the serious problem of illegal grog-running into the community.

YUENDUMU FLAGON WAGON
(Wendy Baarda/Bloodwood)

(Chorus)
Engine roarin’, tailpipe draggin’
Yuendumu flagon wagon
Made it home again

Every time, rain or shine
Cops are waitin’ far behind
Kids clear out and the women are cryin’
Daddy’s comin’ home with a load of wine

Airstrip out and the road is clay
Rain coming down every night and day
No tucker in the store but they dropped in the pay
There’s a big mob of flagon in the camp today

Chorus

Flagon wagon caught in a bog
Rain comin’ down, no jack, no log
No food, no fire, no blankets, no dog
Seven day living off nothing but grog

Chorus

Every time, rain or shine
Cops are waitin’ far behind
Kids clear out and the women are cryin’
Daddy’s comin’ home with a load of wine

Copper up ahead, too late, cut short
‘Hey black feller, what’s that you bought’
Ten jerry cans full of Four Crown port
Talk about it two weeks later in court

Chorus

A hundred dollar down, hey man you’re on
Win this round, get a car and I’m gone
Another flagon wagon doin’ the run
Up and down the Track to Aileron

Chorus

Every time, rain or shine
Cops are waitin’ far behind
Kids clear out and the women are cryin’
Daddy’s comin’ home with a load of wine

The song may be found on the 2-CD set 'Bloodwood: the Collection'.
