about

Following the Strangways act of 1869, farmers were encouraged to move further north and develop properties. They could purchase the property for £1 per acre if they lived on the property for five years and built improvements to the value of 10 shillings per acre. Michael O'Loghlen bought a property at Gulnare in 1870 and settled there with his family which now included two more sons born at Kapunda. The youngest, Peter, died at Gulnare in 1872 at the age of 11 years.

lyrics

Mother: Long ago, in some far dream land
I held you close, my new born child......
and the years that flowed
through broken, troubled nights
of fever, fatigue and pain......
and each new dawn
of smiling eyes and laughter....
we’d coaxed you from the grave.

Father: Why?
what sense
what need
to heed the call
to give a life so small?

Mother: Take me.
