Hi Dennis,

Yes, it is a great song. An Australian classic.

John Schumann was a member of a well-known folk-pop fusion band called Redgum. They had some great songs in the 1970's & 1980's.

Redgum - a history on John Schumann's website

And here's another personal link for you Dennis. Redgum started up in Adelaide. (I had forgotten that, but just read the history.)

Also, the record label which released their first album was Larrikin Records, which was one of the best known folk labels in Australia. Warren Fahey was pivotal in establishing our very own Folk Club here in Newcastle, NSW, at a location only about half a mile from where I live now.
