No major variations in this version (as printed in the BBC's Singing Together), but enough minor ones to make it worth adding.
As with the verse quoted by Ted Miller it has 'luminate in the second line (to keep the scansion). It also has heck in the last verse where others have hell or the dickens (presumably bowdlerisation by the BBC)
I haven't chased through for other variations, but present it as found.


THE DROVER'S DREAM
Traditional Australian

One night when trav'ling sheep my companions lay asleep,
There was not a star to 'luminate the sky,
I was dreaming I suppose, for my eyes were partly closed,
When a very strange procession passed me by
First there came a kangaroo with his swag of blankets blue,
A dingo ran beside him as a mate,
They were trav'ling mighty fast, but they shouted as they passed
'We'll have to jog along, it's getting late.

The pelican and the crane they came in from off the plain
To amuse the company with a Highland Fling,
The dear old bandicoot played the tune upon his flute,
And the native bears sat round them in a ring.
The drongo and the crow sang us songs of long ago
The frill-necked lizard listened with a smile,
And the emu standing near with his claw up to his ear
Said, 'Funniest thing I've heard for quite a while!'

The frogs from out the swamp, where the atmosphere is damp
Came bounding in and sat upon the stones
They each unrolled their swags and produced from little bags
The violin, the banjo and the bones.
The goanna and the snake and the adder wide awake
With an alligator danced The Soldier's Joy.
In the spreading silky-oak the jackass cracked a joke
And the magpie sang The Wild Colonial Boy.

Some brolgas darted out from the tea-tree all about
And performed a set of Lancers very well
Then the parrot green and blue gave the orchestra its cue
To strike up The Old Log Cabin in the Dell.
I was dreaming I suppose, of these entertaining shows,
But it never crossed my mind I was asleep
Till the Boss beneath the cart woke me up with such a start
Yelling: 'Dreamy, where the heck are all the sheep?'
