G'day Ducksy,

I presume we are talking Australian rivers - Australia's largest river system is the Murray / Darling system: draining much of (respectively) the Snowy Mountains snowfall and the Queensland inland rains southward into the Great Australian Bight, near Adelaide on Australia's south coast.

That said ... I have not heard the song. Any other clues?

Regards,

Bob Bolton

I don't know anything about the song either, but I am always ready to meet the darling.

I heard the song on the Ovation channel and it was a show about Australia and country music. The singer was a dark haired Australian woman. It sounded like an old song, but maybe she wrote it. I never caught her name.

That's all I know.

Good OH! Wolfgang! I did a search and came up with nothing except geography references, and I searched Cowpie independently! Very, very Good!! Even has the chords.

Not too much praise, please. I used All the Web all the Time and it was the first or one of the first hits. I would have given up if not.

Google does a good job on that search also - turns up a number of hits before worrying about hydrography!
