1 form y separately published work icon Sydney Goes Bush Edmund Barclay , H. B. , Alf J. Lawrance (composer), Sydney : ABC Radio , 1933 19563794 1933 single work radio play

'This revue is a generous measure of fun and frolic, lilting melodies and tuneful choruses, and tells the story of the visit of city folk to an outback farm. Percy Potts-Point, his fiancee Rose Bay, and her sister Elizabeth Bay, visit Dad, Dave, Mum, and Sarah, and are plunged into a series of amusing misadventures. A touch of whimsical philosophy is supplied by “Never Tire Ted,” the swagman, and “Meddlesome Mattie,” who has much to say about her neighbors. Dave proposes to Elizabeth in characteristic fashion, after learning from the New Chum how it should be done. The melody and merriment never slacken from the time the train is heard to reach Dubbo until the revue reaches its peak and finale at the local weekly dance and social, where Dad is the unconventional but entertaining master of ceremonies. Bright music, smart voices, catchy ensembles on local topics, including “The Humpy I Built for You.” “Rabbits,” “Back to the Land,” “By the Old Camp Fire,” “And the Kookaburra Laughs,” and “The Bush Cinderella” are some of the songs to be heard.'
