On Southern Ground

This is a protest song designed to have Australians stand up and do something positive to help refugees, particularly children, to be freed from detention on Manus Island and Nauru. Get these children (and their families)to a place where they can grow up safely without the threat of violence and abuse.
The song was written by Ian Conabere. It had its first performance on 29th March 2015 at the Victory Park, Traralgon, Refugee Rally. That performance included some Gippsland Acoustic Club , Ian Conabere, Cathlyn Cornwell and Kerryn Conabere.

The recording is by Ian Conabere (piano, vocals) Cathlyn Cornwell (vocals) and Mike Smith (guitar, recording technician). Please feel free to play it. Sheet music available on request.
