Customer Reviews:

2 out of 5 stars Australia is really like this!!.......2005-07-09

Just what the world needs, an album that reinforces that Australians are a bunch of hillbilly crocodile hunter types.
Anyone who has travelled to Australia knows that is only partly true....I have never heard people sing these songs!!

5 out of 5 stars I LOVE BOOMERANGS!.......2004-11-30

I was searching far & wide for boomerang songs. I stopped here and me and my boomerang were overjoyed. I lovethe song "My Boomerang Won't Come Back" and so does my boomerang and my dog, cat and goldfish named boomerang. I also like Waltzing Matilda and Tie Me Kangaroo Down, Sport. My little brother's nickname is Skippy so he liked that song Skippy. Though I don't live in Australia this CD brought me to a boomerang wonderland and I LOVE BOOOOOOOOOMERANGS!

4 out of 5 stars Aussie-ome Australia!.......2000-11-24

This album is terrific. For several months, I've been searching for a CD that had 2 specific Australian pub songs..."Home Among The Gum Trees" and "Old Man Emu." This album has both...and the rest of the songs are great as well. Even if you're not familiar with Australian music, I truly think you'll love this CD!
