I will bring some Rolf Harris (an aussie who does not know Rolf is just not a true Aussie) for you to listen to. here he is in all his glory

Also good to have a rendition of this poem:

I love a sunburnt country,
A land of sweeping plains,
Of ragged mountain ranges,
Of droughts and flooding rains.
I love her far horizons,
I love her jewel-sea,
Her beauty and her terror -
The wide brown land for me!

I shall enchant you with my prose. Enrich you with my wisdom. Entice you with my tales of my erotic escapades in Burma during the 90's. It promises to envelope, engage, encourage and especially explode with epic effervescence. Please excuse my echoing erudition.

Looking for all you poets and storytellers and musicians out there!

Before the Roman came to Rye or out to Severn strode,

The rolling English drunkard made the rolling English road.

A reeling road, a rolling road, that rambles round the shire,

And after him the parson ran, the sexton and the squire;

A merry road, a mazy road, and such as we did tread

The night we went to Birmingham by way of Beachy Head.
