G'day bigJ,

!*¿%±...! I knew I should have Ted's words ... somewhere ... and I do have his book The Land Down Under!

(Well ... it's somewhere ... on one of my dozen bookshelves ... somewhere among (~) 2999 other books ... or in one of the piles that haven't yet found a gap in the shelves ... )

BTW: For anyone puzzling over Anne Summers' full title Damned Whores and God's Police, the book deals with the two opposing views (and realities) of women in colonial Australia - Lt Clark's uncharitable (and hypocritical) characterisation and that of Caroline Chisholm, the philanthopist and welfare worker who promoted immigration of free women, to be "God's police" among the lawless men.

Oh well, I'll check my hearing of the song against the "official" version - and, maybe post corrections.

Regards,

Bob Bolton
