I think this has been discussed before, but I can't find the thread in the archives or on deja.com.
Has anybody made a canonical list of Australian railway songs? Off the top
of my head I can think of:
Indian Pacific, by Joy McKean. Recorded by Slim Dusty (ARPA song of the
year and top selling country song of 1978.) Recently re-released by The Bushwackers.
The Ghan, by Ted Egan.
Jolly Green Giant, by Johnny Ashcroft.
3801, by Ray King and Ron Russell. Did they write any others?
A heap by the late Alan Rowe.
- The Puffing Billy Song
- The Beechie
- The Deepdene Dasher
- Riding in the old Z van
- The aren't and they shan't 'cos they can't.
Queensland Railway Line (trad?)
Morningtown Ride, by The Seekers.
The Train Song, by Nick Cave.
Cheers
David
