One of the graters song and songwriter in australia in the 30 years

I understand this song more than I ever thought I should. I've been working on the family farm since I was 16. I've done well out of it. But I wasn't paid particularly well on the understanding it would be the inheritance of my brothers and myself. I'm thirty now. And my great uncles have decided to sell the farm to donate the proceeds to charity's. I've got no education worth a dam. All I can do is work cattle, crops and milk cows. And to have what I was working for tanken like this makes me want to burn it all down. I wouldn't and won't. But boy do I understand the feeling.

Great singer, great story teller. Love all his song but I think my favourite is " a bit further north"👍👍👍👍👍

This sure beats the hell out of the crap that Nashville passes off as country music in the U.S. Great stuff!

I have been gone 22 yrs from Australia, .... This guy is a gem.... His talent is really one of the best that Australia has every produced .. I wish he was here in Thailand ... They would love this guy, a covid recovery is only a plane trip away ... We, we need a new renewal, we need a normality, we need a natural talent, we need to live life again .... Come on down Graeme ....

This song.... A true salute to the bush.... there's something in this song that the townsfolk will never understand.... "the plight of the primary producer" in Graeme's words, but its so powerful and sad. Thanks 😢😖

Today coffee at the charming little sugar cane town of GORDONVALE, with its sugar cane mill powering along in full flight permeating the air of the entire town with the fragrant intoxicating heavenly smell of crushed raw sugar cane ... Words fail to express ... "Let the Canefields Burn" ... Graeme Connors ...

We watched Graeme at Widgee maybe 10 years ago. Live - it was SO good. Unbelievably good. Rex Gho was lead guitarist. The accordian player was just perfect.
