G'daya again "GUEST" ... Indeed it does! I have just found myself chasing the tune to see how I could fit ... to what the Ambonese villagers made into "The Australian Song" ... then into a song of praise for the fight - the the death ... of Driver Tom Doolan ... the English words (translated) of which appeared in his home town newspaper in 1945! If I can find the 'dots' ... I might be able to work out what happened in the Ambonese phase ... and maybe ... work up a version bringing the Ambonese sentiments back to Australian English ...
