By the time I had the block of text labelled Draft 1, then the title popped into my head. I knew that would be my refrain. I had also heard a story about Macquarie naming all the Argyle things down at The Rocks. So I started with that verse and only THEN realised that I would trace through from Phillip.<br /><br />By the time I got to the end of Draft 2, I knew that I wanted to craft a ballad, but, I don't know how to do that yet.<br /><br />But have a story about Henry Lawson to write first. So ... for the first time ... today's entry is not complete.Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09513648613788716017noreply@blogger.com
