Subject: Lyr Req: 'What'll We Do In Broome?' (Aus) song
Prompted by the "Bringing the Beer to Broome" thread, I thought it might be worth looking for this one.

The Roaring Forties (Sydney-based singers of shantys, sea-songs and beyond) have a song called "What'll We Do In Broome?" which supplies a cornucopia of ideas to occupy your time there. I can't find any trace of it on the web or on the CDs/tapes I have. Surprised it hasn't been adopted by the Broome tourist office.
