This special concert performance salutes our 70th anniversary as custodian of Australia's folksong heritage and oral history.We offer a unique digitised treasure-trove of songs, music and stories collected by folklorists from everyday Australians. These recordings are signposts to the understanding and appreciation of our ever-changing national identity.
