Jeannie Gunn is an actual part of our Territory here in the outback. Jeannie came out from Melbourne with her new husband. He had been offered a job as a station Manager at Elsie Station near Katherine, Northern Territory in the late part of the 19th century. Unfortunately Jeannie lost her new husband after 18 months in the Territory to a "fever". Jeannie Gunn left the Territory and wrote a few books recording certain events in her life including "We of the Never Never" and "The Little Black Princess". Jeannie Gunn never remarried.
Ballad of Jeannie Gunn (446kb)

This song was inspired in the small town of Katherine where I met Jim when a small team of musicians and I were doing a charity concert hoping to bring a little bit of cheer to the flood victims in January 1998. I noticed Jim early one morning after the concert, very organised at that hour, siting on his swag eating his baked beans curiosity got the better of me and we got talking, Jim told me his story of how his families farm was going broke because of the drought in Northern New South Wales and Queensland. To lessen the burden on his parents Jim had decided to join the army. I thought Jim had probably broken some young girls heart.
Goodbye Jim(552kb)

A story about love. It is about a country girl who decides to move to the city leaving her farm and the people who matter most to her , behind. As time goes by she realizes that she is like a fish out of water and becomes homesick, not only for wide open spaces, her family and friends, but also a young farmer who wants her back.
