Thread Name: Australian Christmas Carols
Subject: RE: Australian Christmas Carols
G'day Kajikit,

I was going to comment, on the first link to the words of Christmas Where the Gum Trees Grow, that the tree is correctly spelled "jacaranda" ... and is really a South American import (if, however, very popular!) ... and I think it's related to the tree that produces the traditional 'pernambuco' timber used for violin bows.

Anyway, the new link to Leigh Newton's site does spell if correctly!

Do you need a PM of the lyrics of the Wheeler & James carols ... or have you tracked those down (here ... or on the web)?

Regards,

Bob
