Description
Lizard of Oz is made up of two separate anthologies: Greenhorns & Bundaberg. While not exactly a travel journal, the seventy-plus songs and poems gathered here do capture the moods and times the author went through as he packed his bags and set off on an adventure into the unknown!
As in the Australian continent itself, there is huge diversity in Lizard, from the ludicrous (Maud, Fighting With Giants), to the more thoughtful (Dingo, Keep on Dancing), and the alternative lyrics to several well-loved songs (Bundaberg City, Tribute to John Lennon).
They would have you believe there are no icebergs Down Under, but seen through the author’s eyes, you will realize that Lizard is merely the tip of one...
