Oh! ... Christine:

I should also have said that quite a lot of Oodgeroo Nunuccal's poetry (mostly from back when she still went by her European name "Kath Walker") has been set to tunes ... but usually by us Gubbas!

I just reviewed a compilation CD Bronzewing (from older LPs ... and one EP, in aid of the '60s "Freedom Bus") by Phyl Lobl and this has Phyl's fine settings of Dark-Eyed Daughter and No More Boomerang.

Regards,
