A boisterous costumed entertainment of many of Australia’s most famous and best loved songs, including no less than four versions of Waltzing Matilda. Framed by this most iconic song, the program looks at a defining moment in our colonial history with more than a passing cheeky reference to our British ancestry.
This is a treat for all the family with rollicking colonial songs like Botany Bay and The Road to Gundagai, sentimental favourites such as Georgie Girl and True Blue, as well as several of Martin Wesley-Smith’s witty satirical songs and excerpts from his opera Boojum about Alice in Wonderland.
The program also includes: Black Ribbon, Tommy Tanna and Lines of a Lovelorn Cowhand by Wesley-Smith, songs from the Torres Strait Islands and traditional songs like Bound for South Australia, The Lime Juice Tub, Tie me Kangaroo Down, A Pub with No Beer, I’ve Got a Possie in Dear Old Aussie, Martin Place and many others.
