FYIUall:

John 'Premier for Life' Bannon, Premier of South Australia,
resigned yesterday afternoon (OZ time) over the fiasco known
as the State Bank.
This comes after months of hearings into the collapse/debt/
dirty deeds of the State Bank and it's executives & pollies.
Mr. Samuel Jacobs has been heading the Royal Commission into
the fiasco and he aint been too kind to old Johnny boy.

OK, Who's next?

Normal transmission will now resume...

PS:  Many thanks to the people who posted me the OSSIE News that
     somehow failed to make it to our site. (must be a brit
     conspiracy).

Not so bad, since you only pay on the North to South direction.

n.b. You'd need over 7000 cars to cross to pay off the US govt debt! (plus
a couple of hundred more for the 'off budget' S&L bailout costs).

Alright people, we're obviously all experts on the lyrics of Waltzing
Matilda (whichever version you happen to fancy).

The old question is, of course, WHAT WAS THE SWAGGY'S NAME?

The answer _is_ to be found in the song.

And for all you people overseas, you can have a go at this one too!

Sorry, no prizes, they're a bit hard to uuencode.

	I could be wrong, but I am pretty sure that about 5 years ago the
Cairns-Port Douglas road _was_ sealed. I thought the road was sealed right
up past Mossman up to the bank of some (Daintree ?) river. I remember
going up there just to see where the road stopped.

Well, could these be the original Waltzing Matilda lyrics?

(pardon if you've heard this already... but this version seems a mix
between the "traditional" and the "Queensland" versions...).

According to _Singer of the Bush; A.B. 'Banjo" Paterson complete works
1885-1900/ collected and introduced by Rosamund Campbell and Philippa
Harvie, etc... Sydney: Lansdowne, 1983,

which has a facsimile of the "original" 1895 manuscript "first published
1903", they are... 


I've highlighted the unexpected... :-)


                           Waltzing Matilda
                           Carrying a Swag

Oh there once was a swagman camped IN THE billabongs,
  Under the shade of a Coolibah tree;
And he sand as he LOOKED AT THE OLD BILLY BOILING,
  "Who'll come a-waltzing Matilda with me."

   WHO'LL COME A-WALTZING MATILDA, MY DARLING,
    Who'll come a-waltzing Matilda with me.
   WALTZING MATILDA AND LEADING A WATER-BAG,
    Who'll come a-waltzing Matilda with me.

Up came THE jumbuck to drink at the WATERHOLE,
  UP JUMPED the swagman and grabbed him IN glee;
And he sang as HE PUT HIM AWAY in his tucker-bag,
   You'll come a-waltzing Matilda with me."

   WHO'LL COME A-WALTZING MATILDA, MY DARLING,
    Who'll come a-waltzing Matilda with me.
   WALTZING MATILDA AND LEADING A WATER-BAG,
    Who'll come a-waltzing Matilda with me.

Up CAME the squatter A-RIDING HIS thoroughbred;
  UP CAME POLICEMEN - one, two, AND three.
"WHOSE IS the jumbuck you've got in THE tuckerbag?
  You'll come a-waltzing Matilda with WE".

   WHO'LL COME A-WALTZING MATILDA, MY DARLING,
    Who'll come a-waltzing Matilda with me.
   WALTZING MATILDA AND LEADING A WATER-BAG,
    Who'll come a-waltzing Matilda with me.

Up SPRANG the swagman and JUMPED IN THE WATERHOLE,
  DROWNING HIMSELF BY THE COOLIBAH TREE;
And his VOICE can be heard as it SINGS IN THE BILLABONGS,
  "WHO'LL come a-waltzing Matilda with me."

   WHO'LL COME A-WALTZING MATILDA, MY DARLING,
    Who'll come a-waltzing Matilda with me.
   WALTZING MATILDA AND LEADING A WATER-BAG,
    Who'll come a-waltzing Matilda with me.

So... where did the waterhole go, who introduced the GHOST, and
who got rid of My Darling so Queensland could re-discover it????
And what's this water-bag bit? 

Mysteriouser and Mysteriouser.... :-)

OK, we've all debated the authentic version of this fabulous little
tune, but who of you has heard and can provide the lyrics for the
alternative. I have only heard it sung once or twice, and can only
remember the first few lines. It goes:

Once a jolly vagabond
camped by a lilly pond,
under the shade of an old oak tree.





the tune also goes on about have a little fling with matilda but be
careful of sexually transmitted deseases.

Anyone care to display their musical experience and complete the
lyrics.

      When you think about it, that line doesn't make sense.  I have heard

"Whose' that jolly jumbuck you've got in your tuckerbag!"

      I *think* "whose'" is a contraction of "whose is" to fit the beat. It's

The lyrics to Watlzing Matilda are as follows to the best of my memory -

	Once a jolly swagman, camped by a billabong,
	Under the shade of a Coolabah tree,
	And he sang as watched and waited till his billy boiled,
	You'll come a Waltzing Matilda with me.

Chorus	Waltzing Matilda, Waltzing Matilda,
	You'll come a Waltzing Matilda with me.

	Down came  a jumbuck to drink at that billabong,
	Up jumped the swagman, and grabbed him with glee,
	And he sang as shoved that Jumbuck in his tucker bag,
	You'll come a Waltzing Matilda with me.

Chorus	Waltzing Matilda, Waltzing Matilda,
	You'll come a Waltzing Matilda with me.

	Up rode the troopers mounted on their thoroughbreds,
	Down came the troopers, one ,two, three,
	Where's that jolly jumbuck, you've got in your tucker bag,
	You'll come a Waltzing Matilda with me.

Chorus	Waltzing Matilda, Waltzing Matilda,
	You'll come a Waltzing Matilda with me.

	Up jumped the swagman, sprang into the billabong,
	"You'll never take me alive" said he,
	And his ghost may be heard as you pass by that billabong,
	You'll come a Waltzing Matilda with me.


Chorus	Waltzing Matilda, Waltzing Matilda,
	You'll come a Waltzing Matilda with me.
	And his ghost may be heard as you pass by that billabong,
	You'll come a Waltzing Matilda with me.

  I think most Australians are fed up to the back teeth with the
  word Aboriginal.

  A lot of good faith disappeared, the average Australian  fed up
  with being told he/she is responsible for the current living
  conditions etc of Aboriginal people.

  This gets more so when you look at the amount of money being
  spent, without clear results.

  The original  good faith arose from the fact that Aboriginal
  people for a long time were treated as NOT Equal citizens, this
  with the lousy living conditions a lot of Aboriginal people HAD
  to put up with, with little opportunity to change.

  The people of Australia clearly told the government in 1967
  that Aboriginal people were to be given an equal chance.

  Unfortunately the governments since have taken that result as
  an OK to do different things -making a new class of Australian
  citizens.
  But then governments do that don't they....
