Ripper, first heard then played this song when OR staff at RAF Hospital Wegberg Germany , we had a skiffle group and played at Xmas concerts and various hospital dances and functions. Still have the sheet music I bought in 1958. Great memories. Moved from the UK in 68 to Tasmania, also spent some years in South Australia and went on extended 4WD expeditions into the great outback. Life does not get any better than visiting such wonderful outback pubs and the great people who live in these remote desert locations.

[@paul-sparky-sparr4160]

One of his most beautiful songs. I live in Germany, but whenever I treat myself to a cold beer and listen to SLIM, I am allowed to feel a little bit like an Australian. Thanks for that, mate. You are now driving on the heavenly highways but the spirit of your music will live forever. R.I.P. SLIM 👍🏼🇦🇺🤠🎸

[@phillipcleaver7063]

I attended the recent Remembrance day service here , as some of my ancestors were called up for , or volunteered for , action , the service went appropriately , & afterwards , a couple of blokes came up to me & were talking ( I think they wondered just who the hell I was ! ) , one of them said he was going to the pub for a pint , the other one said " you,ll have a bloody job mate , the pub,s got no beer " ! .......This song & The Great Slim Dusty came straight back into my memory . I,m a brit , not all that proud of it after what,s been done to my country lately , & the ruling section of society,s actions & attitudes in general , I was honouring my own ancestors , & all the other people who were involved . Slim wrote & performed some great music , it,s a good job we can all still enjoy it , long live Slim Dusty .

[@seamusoreilly804]

I’m from south east Texas and, by golly, that’s a great song! Sounds a lot like our country & western tunes. I could feel pretty much at home with these folks!

I bought the sheet music and the record back in 1956 when I lived in England, (I still have it & thelittle EP record)- I played in a skiffle group during those years in the RAF, always a top favourite every time we played it. I was playing it last night on my Yamaha keyboard, been living ‘down under’ since ‘68. Thanks, Slim, a top ⭐️. Greetings from Tasmania Australia 😁🎼👍🇦🇺🦘

I'm Canadian. I like the old American crooner, Marty Robbins. So far as I can tell, Marty Robbins is just an American version of slim dusty. Much love from Canada to Australia. You folk are brilliant. Sending good vibes to the other side of the planet. Yes, it's bloody fucking cold here

[@donalddumas6987]

I'm Canadian too, the first time I heard it, the Irish Rovers sang it on the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation,CBC. I wonder if Stomping Tom Connors or Wilf Carter ever sang that one?

[@Rick-nz5hh]

First time i've heard of him, This song is an instant classic.

Slim was Aussie country legend , traveled round Oz in an old purple Ford Fairline doing shows with the band and roadies following in a bus ,after he died his did a song in a tribute to him , called Old Purple .

[@jgdooley2003]

I think this came about when Australia had to divert grain supplies to the war effort and relied on wine for alternative refreshment. I do not know was it WW1 or WW2 but such control of supplies and commodities and pricing was common in all countries in time of war.

[@caseysmith544]

I have been there, we had to drink Whisky and Dr Pepper mixed to about 5-7% like most beer. Even the Cola ran out. Now this was in the summer and the American Legion bar of this one in my town has this patio almost on the Missouri River that brings the people in.
