Sorry this is a bit off-topic; but I need help.
It appears that Slim Dusty's at the Closing Ceremony was only one rendition
of 'Waltzing Matilda' that was associated with the Games.
Can anyone give me a lead on any of the others, please?
I keep getting requests like the following one, because of:

["A slim man, with black hair, a beard and a bushmans hat" doesn't sound
like Lee Kernaghan, Eric Bogle, or even that silly old bugger of 'Tie me
kangaroo down sport' infamy (well, that'd be enough to bring tears to your
eyes, wouldn't it??) ]
Thanks in advance!
