From a farmer's point of view, this song says it all. There are deserted farms all over Australia because families have had to walk off them in order to go to the cities to try and make a living. My farm is also deserted, but for a different reason I guess, but isn't it sad that the very industry that formed the backbone of this nation is slowly but surely being eroded. Makes you cry when you find out that there are kids out there who don't even know what a cow is or that eggs come from a chook. They say that things go in circles so hopefully in the future small farms may again be a viable proposition and farmers may

return to the land. Until then, lets try to make sure our kids remember what they are!

Hope you enjoy the waltz and let hope that the name Extinction does not become a reality

See you on the floor sometime...... Jan
