Songs on the album (all composed by Ted Egan): Egan wrote a book based on the story of the song; The Drover's Boy.
[1] The jacket description reads: The Drover's Boy has been collected in: It has also inspired a series of paintings and a stage production: Egan saw a potential movie in the story of The Drover's Boy and commissioned Cinevest Limited to find potential backers.
A prospectus was issued in 1995[3] The funds raised by Cinevest and Egan personally, after pre-production costs were sufficient to capture extensive footage of outback cattle movements on high quality film, but insufficient to guarantee completion of the full-length movie, so the project was abandoned.
In 2015 a hybrid-documentary based on The Drover's Boy song was released.
The short-film, with a run time of 11 minutes, was directed by Margaret McHugh and produced by Lyn Norfor and has been screened at numerous film festivals.
