This CD was released on the Auvidis label in France in 1998 as part of the UNESCO Traditional Music of the World Series subtitled as "Australia: Music from the New England Tableland of New South Wales". The Album contains a mix of folk dance tunes and folk songs of both Australian and British Isles origin. As far as I can identify, this CD is no longer available for purchase. This rip was very kindly provided by one of our very kind Tasmanian contributors and is in MPEG-4 format at about the 250 kbps level. It is quite a delightful album.
