Need to have one positive from Halls Creek. Publish the last of the Opus. The best for last possibly.
The ute has been located in Fitzroy Crossing. Intact but in what condition we do not yet know. The saga continues…
John Durack: You'll be pleased to know that that concludes the speeches, and there will be one last Musical Event.
MUSICAL EVENT - featuring John, Michael, James, Patrick and Matthew (with accompaniment by Hannah and William).
Welcome to - 'Mother and Dad' - A song to keep the dreams alive
Chorus:
Cup of tea in the sunshine,
Glass of sherry by the fire.
Talk of books and farms, the weather,
Markets, people, music and mirth.
Old Friends, new friends,
Old times new.
Manuscripts and blueprints,
A show to get to soon.
...
Michael's gone to China,
The scheme is looking good.
John is trekking overland,
The stories building still.
CHORUS
Patrick's fixing something,
Thank God we've got him round.
Matthew's on the Condamine,
Learns again the land.
CHORUS
Jim on fiddle, pipes and drum,
The boys keep playing still.
Mum and Dad and Mum and Dad
It's great to play here too.
CHORUS
Let's say the names, and remember the places,
Mem-Mem and Mary at Bathurst;
Jess and Jack and Maurice;
Margaret, Michael and Jo; Richard, Nicholas and Sally
Penrose Christmas and Porter's Retreat.
CHORUS
Let's say the names, and remember the places,
Grandmother Perth and stories of the North,
Mary, David, Elizabeth, Reg and Kim and a tribe of cousins around the world.
From Perth to Sydney, Dalgonelly and The Ord,
Their memories traced in the paths of the land.
CHORUS
Travel Hopefully
