Old bush songs and rhymes of colonial times. Douglas Stewart and Nancy Keesing. 1976.

A really comprehensive collection of Australia’s colourful bush songs and rhymes- old favourites such as “The Wild Colonial Boy”, “Wallaby Joe” and “The Dying Stockmen”, as well as many lesser-known songs and rhymes collected from early colonial books and newspapers and culled from the memories of old-timers.

Here are songs of and about Australian people from the earliest days of settlement onwards - convict songs, songs of farmers and stockmen, pioneers and explorers, immigrants and gold-diggers, bushrangers and swagmen on the track.
