That was way cool. Always like that piece. First time I heard it was when watching Torville and Dean (ice skaters at the Olympics).

Good admittedly, but this is more 'Queensland',

Graeme Connors - Let The Canefields Burn - YouTube

or this.

Diamantina Drover - John Williamson - YouTube

But we lost our best culture when the Malanda cheese factory closed, eh Barefoot? :(

Ian - Redgum also did a brilliant version of Diamantina Drover. There's nothing like the voice of John Schumann. :D

I've got a couple of albums of Schumann on his own (after he left Redgum). There's some great songs on them - IMO the best one is "For the Children".

Sorry - can't post a link at the moment as we're blocked from Youtube on the work computers.

Yep, love that piece of music, every time I hear it I think of Torville and Deane winning their gold medal at the Winter Olympics all those years ago!!:D:D

Diamontina Drover was actually written by Hugh McDonald, but my favorite version is JW.
I can't find For the Children on Youtube.
