My husband and I recently spent a fortnight in east Gippsland and stayed in Orbost on the banks of the Snowy River for a few nights. While sitting watching the river roll on by I suddenly remembered learning this song in Primary school (around 1973?) and managed to recall about half the lyrics. Trying to recall the full song has been driving me and my husband (who has to listen to me constantly humming the tune) to distraction. Finally found this site. THANK YOU.

I wonder how our teacher managed to explain that last verse!

Thanks again
