Typical Australian homes... note the high pitch of the roof.. I guess it helps keep it cooler.

Gundagai

The Dog on the Tuckerbox... there is a song written about this.
"Along the Road to Gundagai" by Jack O'Hagan

There's a scene that lingers in my memory,
Of an old bush home and friends I long to see;
That's why I am yearning, just to be returning
Along the road in Gundagai

Chorus:
There's a track winding back to an old fashioned shack
Along the road to Gundagai
Where the blue gums are growing, and the Murrumbidgee's flowing
Beneath that sunny sky
Where my Daddy and Mummy are waiting for me
And the pals of my childhood once more I will see
Then no more will I roam whenI'm heading right or home
Along the road to Gundagai

When I get back there I'll be a kid again,
Oh, I'll never have a thought of grief or pain;
Once more I'll be playing where the gums are swaying
Along the road to gundagai.
