I think you will find that it is the lady herself Bill.


search recordings by Dorothea Mackellar and I think you will find it.

Hi Bill. This is great! I couldn't get it to play either....until....I clicked under the play arrow, directly on the 'my country wma.' It then 'saved' & I played it from 'my docs.'
It is very exciting to think it may be Ms Mackellar herself.
The purpose of my life is to serve as a warning to others.

You gave the game away Bill, who is the reader would have been more sneaky. ;) Not that I know about sneaky. :roll:
