The tune is based James Barr's composition (1818) "Thou Bonnie Woods of Craigielee". It is not known how or when Thomas Bulch obtained a copy of James Barr's composition but Bulch's orchestration for brass band was played at the Warrnambool Races in April 1894 by the Warrnambool Garrison Artillery Band. Christina Macpherson heard the tune and later played a version of it for Banjo Paterson at Winton, in August 1895. %%endtext
