Never heard of the 'rabbit trapper' song (in UK)

I assume you refer to 'Back to Broome' another not heard by me ( I think)

I met Ted Egan shortly before he became Governor of the Northern Territory at Wadebridge folk festival, Cornwall ~ he was interviewed by Doc Rowe and also did a few songs. Derek Gifford and Jan were there too

I got a book from him 'The Land Down under'
Also accredited with pointing Rolf Harris to the South African song 'Two Little Boys'
