Bound for South Australia

My sister and her family are about to fly out to Australia from Scotland for an extended Easter break; they may think that they are escaping the Royal Wedding fever currently infecting the British media but I firmly believe that they will find themselves trapped in some outpost of the old Empire where Prince William is worshipped as a minor deity!
Anyway here is a wonderful Youtube clip of the "last shantyman", Stan Hugill, leading a vigourous chorus including Johnny Collins, Jim Mageean, Danny MacLeod, Shanty Jack and Mike and Steve Wilson in 'Bound for South Australia'.

Bon Voyage!
