BURL IVES:
Roger Clarke, on his Waltzing Matilda site, says that 'Waltzing Matilda' was included in a sheet music album "Nine Australian Folk Songs" published by Allan's in 1952. It showed Burl Ives on the cover (timed to coincide with his visit here in 1952).
Here's a bit of trivia... (I'd like to see these though!)In the Burl Ives Collection in the Library of Congress' music division they have listed the fiollowing materials relating to his 1952 tour of Australia and New Zealand:
Airline tickets and transportation
Australia: Home for spastic children [photograph]
Sydney Australia program
Australia: "Variety" article
Article on Australia for American newspaper
Australian tour: Itinerary in Adelaide
Article by Burl Ives on Australian folksongs

Australian taxes
