Notes

  • Dedication: To the memory of my four grandparents, who came severally from the Outer Hebrides, Inverness-shire, Dumfries and the Orkneys, to take part in the settlement of Early Melbourne.
  • Foreword by Mary Gilmore, Sydney, 2.2.1944. 'From her childhood, Christina McAskell (Mrs. Mawdesley) has looked on history with the vision of the Celt, and has heard life sing....As a final word, 'The Corroboree Tree', including the shorter pieces, is a song of pride that endured, and in enduring became the corner-stone of a nation.'
