South Australia's Redgum, along with the likes of Goanna and Midnight Oil, were at the forefront of political comment through their music. Their biggest hit had been "I Was Only 19", a protest song against the futility in Vietnam. These sort of songs also brought them to the attention of ASIO (Australian Security Intelligence Organisation) and so it is little wonder that John Schumann should find another topic to write a song about.

Redgum were an Australian folk and political music group formed in Adelaide in 1975 by singer-songwriter John Schumann, Michael Atkinson on guitars/vocals and Verity Truman on flute/vocals; they were soon joined by Chris Timms on violin.[1] All four had been students at Flinders University and together developed an intensely passionate and outspoken outlook.[2] They are known for their protest song exploring the impact of war in 1983's "I Was Only Nineteen (A Walk in the Light Green)", which peaked at #1 on the National singles charts.[2][3][4][5] The song is in the Australasian Performing Right Association (APRA) list of Top 30 of All Time Best Australian Songs created in 2001.[6][7] Redgum also covered Australian consumer influences on surrounding nations in 1984's "I've Been To Bali Too",[2] both hit singles were written by Schumann.[8] "The Diamantina Drover", written by Timms replacement, violinist/vocalist Hugh McDonald and "Poor Ned", written by Trevor Lucas of Fairport Convention, are examples of their bush songs.[2][8] Lucas produced their best performed album, the June 1983 live LP Caught in the Act,[1][2] which peaked at #3 on the National albums chart.[2][3] Schumann left the band and pursued a solo career from 1986, Atkinson left in 1987 and Redgum finally disbanded in 1990.[1][2] Since 2005 Schumann and McDonald have been performing together again as part of John Schumann and the Vagabond Crew.

This huge tree trunk was too big to be put directly on the sawmill. In this video you can see the Viable Lumber team using a grapple truck to move large logs (branches) into position for the sawmill. Then we turn our attention to the trunk (the ends are painted to keep the wood from splitting). Enormous slabs are cut off the end of the trunk and have to be moved by the grapple truck. Then the rest of the trunk is quartered with a large chain saw to create four large logs that will fit onto the sawmill.

This episode, Vic Cherikoff visits Redgum Restaurant inside the historic Boronia House in the northern Sydney suburb of Mosman. Originally located at the corso in Manly, Uli and Sean's Redgum Restaurant relocated to Boronia House in 2001 when the Manly Pier was being renovated. Built in 1885, Boronia House is listed as one of the finest on the heritage register and has a timeless quality. The wooden floorboards, open fireplaces and high ornate ceilings create a feeling of grandeur. Fully refurbished in 1997 the house offers a style that affords a sense of space, light and harmony. The French doors open onto the surrounding veranda' which overlooks the grounds and gardens. On a sunny Sunday afternoon you could believe that you are on a country estate surrounded by areas of open space instead of being 30 metres from the busy Military road. Inside, the restaurant is decorated in the warm colours of the Australian outback with large pieces of Aboriginal art adorning the walls and displays of native Australian flowers and greenery completing the fusion of Victorian and contemporary style. Redgum's menu is a combination of European/Asian cooking with the influence of Australian herbs and spices with dishes such as Calamari with passionfruit and Mountain Pepper BBQ Sauce, Salt bush lamb with kumara smash and for dessert a gumleaf brulee. Redgum Restaurant has since closed, and Boronia house operates as a wedding and function centre. However, Chef Ulli has migrated to Queensland <b>...</b>

Made after the success of "I Was Only 19", this feature focuses on the effects of the song on Vietnam veterans, and has excerpts of other songs such as The Long Run amd Poor Ned. John Schumann and Michael Atkinson are also interviewed, as is Frankie Hunt, the "Frankie" referred to in the song. NB a cameo by the single's producer Trevor Lucas (ex-Fairporrt Convention etc) around 1:50. www.schumann.com.au NB: I can imagine a few redneck trolls making their usual inane comments on a video such as this, with its talk of socialism, communism etc. Any such comments will be deleted, but respectful and intelligent debate, if it arises, is fine of course.

A Life in Pictures Lyrics The faces in the photograph have faded And I can't believe he looks so much like me For it's been ten years today Since I left for Old Cork Station Sayin' I won't be back till the drovin's done For the rain never falls on the dusty Diamantina And a drover finds it hard to change his mind For the years have surely gone Like the drays from Old Cork Station And I won't be back till the drovin's done Well it seems like the sun comes up each mornin' Sets me up and takes it all away For the dreaming by the light Of the camp fire at night Ends with the burning by the day For the rain never falls on the dusty Diamantina And a drover finds it hard to change his mind For the years have surely gone Like the drays from Old Cork Station And I won't be back till the drovin's done Sometimes I think I'll settle back in Sydney But it's been so long it's hard to change my mind For the cattle trail goes on and on And the fences roll forever And I won't be back till the drovin's done For the rain never falls on the dusty Diamantina And a drover finds it hard to change his mind For the years have surely gone Like the drays from Old Cork Station And I won't be back till the drovin's done For the rain never falls on the dusty Diamantina And a drover finds it hard to change his mind For the years have surely gone Like the drays from Old Cork Station And I won't be back till the drovin's done Category: Music John Williamson Diamantina <b>...</b>

One of my favorite bands, this song was a big hit in Australia when Red Gum released it. en.wikipedia.org I WAS ONLY NINETEEN Mum and Dad and Denny saw the passing-out parade at Puckapunyal It was a long march from cadets. The sixth battalion was the next to tour And it was me who drew the card. We did Canungra, Shoalwater before we left. And Townsville lined the footpaths as we marched down to the quay This clipping from the paper shows us young and strong and clean. And there's me in my slouch hat with my SLR and greens. God help me, I was only nineteen. From Vung Tau, riding Chinooks, to the dust at Nui Dat I'd been in and out of choppers now for months.

God help me, I was only nineteen A four-week operation When each step could mean your last one on two legs It was a war within yourself But you wouldn't let your mates down till they had you dusted off So you closed your eyes and thought about something else.

This came off a beta recording that was recorded in the 80's. Roll It On Robbie - Redgum Recorded in 1987, this non-LP single was intended as a humorous promotion for the use of condoms. It was Redgum's final single release and it entered the Top 40 Charts, but the now-rare single was regarded more as a novelty song than a serious piece of social advice. Composer John Schuman now reportedly considers the song "an embarrassment".

This is the only copy I can find that like this, the other copy of The Herd's version is crap in my opinion... This just has a better structure and timing, they obviously thought otherwise, hence this is the unreleased version. I have a feeling that that this is the "Like a version" version...Either way, fitting that I put it up today. For me, this isn't an Anti-War song, but more of a "reality of war" song This is not my music and all rights and respect go to the creators, no copyright intended.
