Apart from being united as the 'great southern lands', another aspect bringing Australians and New Zealanders together is their common love for great music. Both Australians and New Zealanders are prolific when it comes to hit songs. The songs in this volume are a part of our collective psyche. We all respond to classics like Eagle Rock and Better Be Home Soon, and remember the time when we heard Horror Movie and Love Is In The Air in high rotation on radio. Then there are traditional favourites that are simply a part of life like Waltzing Matilda and Pokarekare Ana. This collection brings over 80 of these important songs to you with melody line, guitar chords and lyrics. Conveniently presented together in one volume, this is a must-have for Australian and New Zealand musicians.
