DVD available at stringybark.com – order at sales@stringybark.com The jaunty gold prospecting song “With My Swag On My Shoulder”, a tale of great hope and expectation for anyone willing to make the long perilous journey to Australia, where they were told fortunes could be easily made picking up the nuggets of gold! Emma features on this track with a lively piano accordion solo and we illustrate the era with some glorious sketches and portraits of life and conditions on the mid 19th century goldfields of Victoria and N.S.W.
