Oh the talent of humankind. Who hasn’t roamed the Lakes District of England without quoting Wordsworth?
The same goes for our Australian writers, poets and singers.
“And he sees the vision splendid of the sunlit plains extended” from A. B. Paterson. So many times we crest a hill and Australia in all its splendour is laid before us and draws our breath.
The writings of Banjo Paterson, Henry Lawson, the songs of Slim Dusty forever rattle through our minds. And so too as we leave Charleville after being absolutely captivated by a town that we had been only mildly curious, we turn up the music to eleven and sing “In Charleville” all the way back to Morven.

We are great lovers of car singing in our family – Beach Boys being favourite for holiday travel!

Australian culture is sadly lacking in the UK. I’ve never heard of Banjo Paterson, Henry Lawson, the songs of Slim Dusty . Peter Carey and Thomas Keneally are about as far as I go. I need to put this right!

I’ll endeavour to enlighten you over time as our travels cross the paths of these lyrical gentlemen Margaret.

“I love a sunburnt country,
A land of sweeping plains….”
That one comes into my head so often when we’re driving along, definitely not one for singing though.

Oh yes, so often. She described the landscape and its feel so well.

Nothing like a good sing-along or sometimes just some inspiring music to match our scenery.

Even classical music after a good lunch in the vineyards 😉
