I also come from a saltwater people so when I first heard this song- by the Warumpi Band I loved it but this version was great too
especially as the timing of it was a direct swing at our dearly despised (and hopefully soon departed) Prime Minister and his refusal to utter one little word- sorry.

A place for l'il ole me to chatter on about my work and other stuff. A kind of E Visual Diary I suppose. I enjoy most things in life so no subject too controversial or too rude ;-)

OH my Goodness I love this song, I have just heard of Christina Nui, they are playing her CD on BBC. I'll try to find her here but chances are nil to none..
She is so beautiful... Is she originally from OZ, she looks like a native from there maybe mixed..
I only listen to BBC R&B they have much better music and much more current.. I know english not good:):)
Hi Dianne I love it too :-)
Christine Anu is from the Torres Strait originally and started out as a dancer but was 'discovered' by Neil Murray from the Warumpi Band. Strictly speaking she is Melanesian more than Aboriginal She's been on stage and acted- she was in Moulin Rouge -along with just about every Australian performer LOL

there's music and video on her space worth listening to and watching.
You would probably find her on Amazon- most Aussie acts seem to be listed now. Her Coz I'm Free is a great track too- inspired by Cathy Freeman the Olympic hurdler
