Hi - I was on the Kuranda railway last year with my husband and he found the cd they played then hysterically funny. I am desperately trying to find some of the songs but have nothing to go on!

All I can say is that there was one song about going on a long car journey and the kids were in the back and I think part of the lyrics said "hang on kids, here comes another one" or something and they all go "oooooohhhhhhhhh" like they're going over a rough surface.

The other song I remember a little off was about christmas day, people playing cricket, "throw another shrimp on the barbie", some uncle drinking too much..

That's about it - not very helpful I know, but if anyone has been on the train, or works there, then perhaps these will ring a bell???

PS - I've tried phoning but it's only the ticket line and they can't help :S

I think that Kuranda has its own little information/tourist bureau. They might be able to help!

It's probably John Williamson's "Camel Train to Yamba" for a quick sample

good luck de p.

Could it be Frankie Davidson, "Toss another shrimp on the barbie"?

You are an absolute star!!! Camel Train to Yamba is def one of them and it's just had me grinning my head off :D

Thank you so, so, so much. Guess what my hubbie is getting for xmas? :D

Sorry Michael, that's not the other one I'm afraid. It was a xmas day BBQ if that helps?

But you have led me to an album that features 'G'Day' by Caswell and 'Ya gotta ave a beer' by Nev Nicholls, which were two of the other tracks! :D

I really want the xmas BBQ one if anyone else has any ideas...?

It's John Williamson, 'Christmas Photo'!!! Thank you all sooooooooooo much. I have now decided it was JW's Family Album that was playing because so many of them are familiar!!!

Thank you all :D
