I've always known and heard "Botany Bay" and this song of emigration was also in our repertoire in the "Idle Fellows". Wilfried Drygala sang this song particularly well in that fine soft voice of his. It's also nice to play on the concertina.

Aussie Bush Band on "Bush Songs from the Australian Outback: The Aussi" CD(s) & MP3 Album(s)
