jup Tie Me Kangaroo Down'let Abos go'explain (60* d) RE: Tie Me Kangaroo Down'let Abos go'explain 25 Jan 02

I think GaryT got it in one. My guess is that the line refers to aboriginal stockman. These men are as they were then an important part of the workforce in the bush. Slavery is part of Australian history mainly in the sugar industry. "Kanaka" labour was what established the cane fields. An apropriate reflection on Australia day. Jup.
