Outback Ballads: The NTS Guide to: Australian Folk and Country

Queensland, 21.02.24

Outback ballads from the country and folk scenes of Australia, traditions leading back to the intial colonising and settlement of the land, mostly by British and Irish people. Bush songwriting ranges from humorous to melancholic, and many explore themes of Australian folklore, including bushranging, droving, droughts, floods, life on the frontier, and relations between Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australians.
