  1. There is also a bigger connection to USA through this song than most people would realise. Composer / singer Peter Allen was one of a duo the Allen "Brothers", that had good cabaret success in the USA. Peter's fame eventually saw him marry Liza Minellli, Judy Garland's daughter. Bit of a sad story after that with Peter passing away in early 90's. His best work is often considered to be his composition "the Tenterfield Saddler" which is such a heartwarming song.

  2. In listening to this one can only feel a great sense of pride for the early pioneers of flight who started to gap the long distances between England and Australia. All goes back to the Smiths in 1919
