Please accept my condolences, Joe. Your mother was a great Australian author with an uncompromising passion for our country and the gift to express it in remarkable poetry. Her passing is a significant loss.

I've always thought the late Declan Affley's recording of 'Weevils In The Flour' was stunning. (I know you asked for "unusual" recordings, but I hope "stunning" is OK)

The venerable Bob Bolton will be able to make a more meaningful contribution to this thread than this one, but I'm sure the other Australian 'Catters would be pleased to hear from anyone 'offshore' who has been touched by Dorothy Hewett's poetry.

Your bibliography/discography project is a worthy one and I wish you well. Please keep us informed about its progress.
