Ian, my father was the best horseman I ever saw. He learned his trade in the channel country, when he left home , aged 15, from aboriginal stockmen. They drove cattle from the channel country to the rail heads, in southern Qld, & northern NSW. I broke his heart when I ran away to sea at age 15. I couldn't see a future in the land.

It's all about the horse. Here is a poem about the horses that were not allowed to come back from the middle east in WW1.

I saw Redgum at the Mercantile hotel(Irish Pub in the Rocks) about 30yrs ago, Hugh did a acoustic version, about a week later JW did a supprise free gig at the Wiseman Ferry Inn, Hugh was better;)

Both versions are good.
