This is so good! The Sydney Morning Herald photographer was in that biplane on Wednesday 18 December 1935 - SMH 19/12/1935 p.14 - trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/17231756 . The biplane belonged to Mr H. C. Durant. Somewhere nearby is the Motor Liner 'Malaita'. What a great photo of sail, steam, and air travel together

very lively picture! _the aircraft is a Gipsy Moth, I'm fairly certain.
beachcomber australia said:
Dru I think you are right. There are several contemporary newspaper articles referring to Harold Durant's Moth.

The song 'Rolling Home' on accordion (headless!) - youtu.be/wLdYaei0XLw

beachcomber australia Brilliant, do you think they're midway singing the word 'home'. :P
beachcomber australia said:
Australian National Maritime Museum on The Commons Yes! I tried to find an accordion and voice version on YouTube, but only found it in German, where it is much more popular (originally from Nova Scotia in the 1890s).

beachcomber australia Really? For some reason I thought it was English song. Will have to do more research on it and include it in the story of JOSEPH CONRAD. :)
beachcomber australia said:
I did not know of "Rolling Home" before this reference (I have an English background as a musician), but this site with basic sheet music and words says it was the most famous homeward-bound song of them all (Stan Hugill, in 'Shanties from the Seven Seas' 1961). Like most folk songs the words get adapted by word-of-mouth etc. www.educationscotland.gov.uk/scotlandssongs/secondary/gen... "According to Hugill it was "the most famous homeward-bound shanty of all," and was popular in both English and American Ships. It is believed the shanty is based on a poem by Charles Mackay, written on board ship in 1858, but Hugill speculates that Mackay could have heard the sailors at the capstan and based his poem on the original shanty. Many collectors state the song was a forecastle song, rather than a shanty, but there are several shanty versions and Whall cites several sources which confirm it was used as a capstan shanty.
