My son, John, brought this song to my attention. He knows of my love for “cowboy tunes”, and this is an Australian cowboy tune set in the dusty, hot and arid section of Australia known as the Diamantina. It has all the classic elements of the rigors of cattle drives… of the regrets….the longings…. and a great melody.
