This is a great Aussie song by Graeme Connors. It has been written to in the past but

nobody in Darwin seems to remember the dance so I thought it would be a good time to

write  another one.…. specially for my  Darwin workshop. It will be a special time for me

too as I haven't been up that way for 40 years and that was way before Cyclone Tracey

demolished the city in 1974.  I will certainly notice a change  -  and I'm looking forward

to it too! 

Hope YOU like the dance!  Feel free to contact me if you need any help.

See you on the floor sometime...Jan
