G'day Martin,

I appreciate the info on Road to Youghal. I was sure I was hearing right on the 'astore' but Gaelic is too many generations back in my family tree (although I believe I have heard the expression - if not understood).

The lyrics I posted for 'Moreton Bay' are the standard version sung all over Australia by folk revival singers and I found them in the DT - second time around. I will post the Simon MacDonald version because it is more important historically, being a genuine, collected folk-processed version whereas the one in DT was "reconstructed" by a folklorist (John Manifold) who produced his own 'singer's text' from three fragments and the 'Fran the Poet' text.

Regards,

Bob Bolton
