I’d particularly like to thank:
- Kangaroovindaloo from freesound.org, who provided me with so many of the Australian sound effects I needed. I lost a lot of my own bush atmospheres and he saved my bacon!
- Andrew McLeod and the Doonoch Dancers from Nowra for permission to record and use their dancing. They’re a very entertaining, high energy Aboriginal dance troupe, highly recommended!
- My speakers:
- Amanda Annabel
- Noal Annabel
- Bill Stallard
- Ivo Ahlquist
- Ian Battersby
