Sorry I don't, Sydney is a LONG way away...... but.....

Try private messaging Ted in Australia, he isn't in Cairns, but he's up in that general direction, might know someone else..........

but being Cairns you should have no problem finding a friendly backpacker who'd be willing to do it.....

G'day Sheye,

One of the 'grand old men' of the folk revival in Australia lives up the mountain behind Cairns. Ron Edwards, whose artwork illustrated some of our early ('50s) folklore publications ... and who has consistently collected, depicted and published all aspects of folklore and craft ever since ... live at Kuranda.

Unfortunately, he is most unlikely to be mucking around with these new-fangled computers and the internet while there is folklore and bush skills and customs to be documented!

Regard(les)s,

Bob Bolton
