From the liner notes: What would an Overlander who looks like a film version of a Biblical saint, the tough sort, be doing in London? He certainly hasn't been sitting placidly by a billabong, twiddling his thumbs, since he was transported from Australia to England. (In case you are wondering what a “Billabong” is, look at the glossary below - indispensable to any cove or swagman who wants to migrate to Australia with his Matilda on his shoulder and his dewdrop by his side.) No, he certainly has not. He has been touring this country from end to end, bringing the Australian scene in song to the receptive ears of what is euphemistically known as the Great B.P. Our Overlander, Trevor Lucas, a red-headed, red-bearded young man from Australia, is one of the finest representative singers of Australian songs to-day. Here is an artist who can accompany himself on the guitar with the consistency of a galeforce wind or the soothing sweetness of a gentle zephyr - a singer who hooks you with his singing, until you just can't stop listening, whose aim is to entertain - and this he certainly does. Nobody could say that the Australia that Trevor portrays on this LP is a place for weaklings. Witness his singing of Bold Jack Donahue, as tough a character as his American counterpart, if not tougher. But there are two very surprisingly tender moments in this collection, the first being The Shearer's Dream. What Trevor evokes from this song can best be left to the imagination. The second moment
