Roger Jose was my Great Grand Uncle. David Attenborough did a documentary on him and others in 1963 called Quest Under Capricorn - Hermits of Borroloola. Andrew Denton then did an interview with Ted Egan who told him about the story of Roger Jose. Roger used his mother's maiden name as his surname. His real full name was James Arthur Edison Hudson (1896 - 1963)
I wish I could find more information on the history of this song. I find it so fascinating, and slightly sad
