Warren Fahey - AUSTRALIA: Folk Songs and Bush Verse - CD 3

GIVE ME A HUT IN MY OWN NATIVE LAND

For many of our pioneering ancestors the country was the real Australia where the memories of prison hulks, chain gangs and hostile natives were long forgotten ñ replaced by gold, sheep, wheat and cattle. Give Me A Hut In My Own Native Land: Colonial Settlers takes you on a journey through early life on the land for our early settlers from working the soil, to new friends made.
